Children with Cancer Fund, based in Polegate, has been awarded a grant of £79,725 over three years by BBC Children in Need.
This grant will fund social events and support for children with cancer and help make a difference in the lives of children and young people facing disadvantages in Wealden.
The project works towards improving young people’s mental well-being by providing practical and emotional support and social events to unite children affected by childhood cancer.
With the support of BBC Children in Need, Children with Cancer Fund will be able to continue reaching out to the young people in Wealden by funding a range of social events and support services.
Chloe Wenham, Operations Manager at Children with Cancer Fund said: “We could not provide this level of support for young people in Wealden without the help of BBC Children in Need. This grant will go on to change the lives of so many young people and give them the support they need.”
Pam Bacon, Regional Impact Officer, South East at BBC Children in Need, said: “We’re delighted to fund projects like Children with Cancer Fund and can’t wait to see the difference funding makes for young people across the local area. Funds donated by the public allow BBC Children in Need to continue providing support, guidance and a positive environment for young people and their families.”
