Abby’s Heroes
Abby’s Heroes supports children, teenagers and young adults from across the South of England when diagnosed with cancer, together with their families. We follow a family’s journey from diagnosis, through their therapy regime, completing their treatment plan, relapse and sadly if their child needs palliative care. Offering emergency grants for either financial or practical reasons, we are able to give families breathing space to concentrate on their children, when the financial impact of childhood cancer affects a family.
BBC Children in Need
Thanks to the support of people across the UK, BBC Children in Need is able to make sure that every child has the chance to thrive and be the best they can be. With your support, we can help even more. Having a safe, warm and secure home, enough food and opportunities to have fun and learn are all fundamental to a happy childhood and healthy mental wellbeing. But the rising cost of living is trapping more families in poverty and having a significant impact on children’s mental health.
