Project Report | Nov 17, 2016
Hospitals treat the illness, Barretstown treats the child

By Mark Hughes | Corporate Account Manager

Dear supporter

Higher rates of cancer diagnosis and improved survival rates are leading to an increase in demand for our services, as more and more children and families face the long road through treatment.

Barretstown helps children and their families deal with the emotional and physiological scares often left after months and years of treatment.

The Barretstown programme is endorsed by leading medical professionals and has become internationally recognised as having a profound and lasting impact on the lives of children with serious illness.

After participating, children go home with increased confidence, self-esteem and the skills they need to face the rest of their journey to recovery.

With your help in 2016 we have achieved so much and have brought the magic of Barretstown to more children than ever before! In 2017 we want to run more camps and reach more children than ever before. Next year with the help of supporters like you we will run at least 10 Spring Family Camps, 7 week long Summer Camps and 9 Autumn Family Camps.

Thank you so much for your support!

Mark
