Supporter promise

We believe every family who has a child with a life threatening illness should have the support they need.

You, like all of our generous supporters, are at the heart of us achieving this vision. Thanks to your generosity last year our teams of Family Support Workers helped over 2,500 families; more than ever before.

We know you expect us to behave correctly and spend your money wisely and that’s why we want to share our promise with you.
