Kids Cancer Charity

General information

Started in 1989 as Christian Lewis Trust, the Kids Cancer Charity provides a range of services, all aimed to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and their familes. These include our Compassionate Care Breaks UK, Play Therapy, Family Bereavement Support, and the American and French 'Dream Experience'.

We have an on going project which is to get as many children and their families as possible on a Compassionate Care Break where we have four mobile homes situated around the beautiful Welsh coast. There are two reasons why children with cancer have need of these breaks: when a child has just finished a course of Chemotherapy, or when a child's prognosis is poor and the family would like a memorable break together.

We pride ourselves in offering care on an individual level. Our primary focus is always on issues that relate to the quality of life for the children and their families. We care and we understand. We are here to support individuals and families when they need it. We can provide a listening ear at the end of the telephone, a response to an email, face-to-face meetings, over the years we have seen the benefits of being able to talk about the turmoil and the pain.

Our promise to anyone who contacts us is that we'll listen without judging and we'll try our best to help if we can. Whether it is a holiday at one of our caravans situated in Wales, an opportunity to stay at the charity's very own luxury villa in Florida, help with arranging a fantastic trip to Disneyland Paris, information on specialist travel insurance, support via one of our Play Therapists or even just a chat.
