Colleagues at Invest NI have selected Cancer Fund for Children to be our corporate charity partner for the next 2 years. The charity works to ensure that no child faces cancer alone, and given that every week in Northern Ireland approximately 3 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer, this work is vital.

Invest NI are 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 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 vital emotional, social and therapeutic support, at home, in hospital and at the charity’s therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, County Down.
