Armagh supporting Cancer Fund for Children

Every week in Northern Ireland, approximately 3 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer. Armagh is stepping up and helping to ensure that Cancer Fund for Children can continue to be there for these families with the right support at the right time.

Cancer treatment can be frightening, challenging and isolating for the whole family. For a diagnosed child, months of gruelling treatment and its side effects can impact their mental health, their education, and their friendships. This is also an extremely worrying time for siblings and parents. When a parent is diagnosed with cancer, life can become full of fear and uncertainty for them and their children.

Cancer Fund for Children understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and its treatment can have on the whole family, and that beyond the essential medical care, there is a family life that needs to be rebuilt. They provide emotional, social and therapeutic support, at home, in hospital and at the charity’s therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge.
