Candlelighters
Each year, an average of 150 children in Yorkshire are diagnosed with cancer. Candlelighters provides practical, emotional and financial support to children and families affected by childhood cancer throughout Yorkshire. We support children and their families from diagnosis and throughout their journey, including financial support, practical help on the wards and clinic (LGI), well-needed breaks, as well as emotional and well-being support for the whole family at our family support centre (The Square) and family support bus. The support we offer at The Square and on the Bus ranges from a simple a cup of tea and a break from the wards to a full programme of emotional and well-being support for children, parents, siblings and grandparents.
