Child Cancer Foundation

Nothing can prepare you for the news that your child has been diagnosed with cancer. Families face immense changes after diagnosis and their old 'normal' life will be put on hold as they work through the childhood cancer journey.

That's why the Child Cancer Foundation strives to ensure no child suffering from cancer, or their family, ever feels alone.

Every year approximately 150 children are diagnosed with child cancer in New Zealand and at any one time the Foundation supports up to 900 families across New Zealand. 

The Child Cancer Foundation does not receive any funding from government or other cancer related agency but relies solely on the generosity of New Zealanders like you.

By supporting the Child Cancer Foundation you make sure children with cancer, their families and the health professionals who care for them receive practical and emotional support.

The Foundation provides families with:

• A Family Support Worker who supports the child and family throughout their experience with cancer
• Financial assistance in the form of food vouchers, petrol vouchers, transportation and accommodation
• Parent and sibling support groups and support for bereaved families
• Education initiatives and scholarships for children with cancer and their siblings
• Access to Holiday homes to allow families to spend special time together

The Child Cancer Foundation is a national organization with four regions, supporting a number of branches throughout the country.
