Help Us to Support Families Affected by Cancer

Mark is a 13 year old boy who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2013. Mark's Cancer diagnosis was a huge shock to his family and his parents recongised that as a family, they needed support to get through the journey ahead.

Thanks to your donations, we were able to support Mark through his Cancer Treatment.  Mark attends Purple House on a regular basis and this gives him time out for himself and a time away from his Cancer treatment.  While at Purple House, Mark receives Reflexology and also participates in our programmes for children affected by Cancer.

Today, Mark is doing great and he is coming to the end of his Cancer treatment.  A huge achievement for him.

Mark is just one of the many children that we support here at Purple House and your support allows us to support many more children like Mark.

We have recently introduced the CLIMB Programme for children affected by Cancer.

CLIMB is a programme for children aged 5-12 who are experiencing the impact of a parents cancer diagnosis and it stands for Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery.

CLIMB is run over six weeks. It’s an enjoyable, sharing, interactive experience and a time for the children to come together to deal with their feelings. Throughout the programme the children will develop an understanding of cancer and from this understanding the myths and fears that children can hold about cancer will be dispelled. The programme is creative, using drama, arts and play. They are also based on having fun together and meeting new friends.

Your continued support allows us to help so many families affected by Cancer in your community.

Thank You!
