Christmas Support
A little less pressure, a little more Christmas magic.
Christmas should be a time for families to come together, but when a child has cancer, the festive season can bring additional financial pressures, emotional challenges and uncertainty. We want to help ease some of those worries while giving families opportunities to enjoy precious moments together.
Our Christmas support programme is available to families across Dorset and has been shaped by feedback from parents who understand the challenges of navigating childhood cancer during the festive season.
Our support focuses on three things:
Something to Eat – Christmas Food Hampers
A thoughtfully selected hamper filled with a mixture of sweet and savoury treats for the whole family to enjoy, helping to make Christmas feel that little bit more special.
Something to Help – Financial Support
We know Christmas can bring additional financial pressures for families affected by childhood cancer. To help ease the burden, families can choose from three voucher options: Deliveroo, Love2shop or Amazon, depending on what would be most helpful to them.
Something to Do – Family Memory-Making Boxes
Our memory-making boxes are designed to bring families together through activities they can enjoy at their own pace, without needing to travel or leave the house. Each box will include something to bake, something to make and something to play.
How to Request Christmas Support
Families living in Dorset who are affected by childhood cancer can request support through our online application form. You can select one, two or all three options, depending on what would be most helpful for your family.
All support is subject to availability, and we will do our best to help as many families as our resources allow.
