Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund

Since 1992, Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund has supported families facing the devastating emotional, practical, and financial impact of childhood cancer. Founded by our CEO, Vincent Fitzmaurice, Lennox exists to ensure no family ever feels alone on their cancer journey.

Our vision is simple: that every family whose child is diagnosed with cancer knows Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund is here to support them, every step of the way.

Financial Support

Childhood cancer brings huge financial pressure - from travel costs and unpaid leave to mounting household bills. Our care and crisis grants are designed to ease this burden, allowing families to focus on what matters most: caring for their child.

We can support families with non-medical expenses, loss of income, and the everyday costs that can quickly build up during treatment and recovery.

Emotional Support

A childhood cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, and the emotional toll can be just as challenging as the practical one. Our Family Support Team is here for parents, siblings, grandparents, and carers - whenever support is needed.

“Lennox have been such a huge help to us. They provide emotional support when I've just needed a chat and things have got too much.”

— Samantha, mum to Piper

We offer 24/7 personal contact, help connect families with others in similar situations, and offer access to professional counselling through our Mental Wellbeing Crisis Grants when needed.

Practical Support

From understanding medical language to completing benefit and welfare forms, we help families navigate life after diagnosis. Our team provides clear guidance, trusted information, and tailored referrals to specialist organisations, helping families feel less overwhelmed during an incredibly difficult time.

Respite Breaks

Time away from hospitals and treatments can be vital for a family’s wellbeing. That’s why we provide free Respite Breaks, including spending money, giving families the chance to rest, reconnect, and create positive memories together.

“Lennox helped reunite us with our fun, frivolous sides – sides that had been battered and beaten up over many treatment cycles. It was nice feeling like us again.”

— Cassia, mum to Seraph

Our breaks are completely stress-free — we take care of everything, so families can simply arrive, relax, and recharge.
