Our mission
We enable children with cancer and other life-limiting conditions to continue their education while they undergo treatment.
Our mission is non-medical. It complements the work of medical staff in supporting the children and their families.
This promotes their happiness quotient through learning and creative activity, and helps them return to mainstream schooling and life after treatment with hope, confidence, pride, and dignity.
Together we can make a difference.
