Story

Jordan's Weeones needs your help! Come and join our campaign 'Walk for Weeones' and help us raise vital funds for families in need who have a child diagnosed with cancer.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, treatment usually starts immediately at one of the specialist hospitals in the UK, which can be many miles from the families home. This means a lot of travelling to hospital appointments, parking costs, food, accommodation, childcare for siblings, and increased utility bills. The financial hit can be crippling at a time when parents have had to give up work or reduce hours to care for their child. It’s been reported an average family spend an extra £600 a month when they are supporting their child in hospital.

As a charity, Jordan's Weeones support these families with emergency grants to help with these costs. To date we have issued 338 (just under £50,000) to families in need, but we need your help to raise more funds and continue to support additional families.
