Cancer doesn’t only affect the person diagnosed, it also affects every member of the family. Although there is a lot of community-based support available to families, it can sometimes be confusing or time-consuming for families to find out what types of support are available to them. This is where Cancer Hub steps in.
Canteen, Camp Quality and Redkite are working together to provide Cancer Hub as part of the Child and Youth Cancer Alliance.
