The Cancer Fund for Children is using a �498663 grant to deliver their five-year Building Resilient Families project. It is supporting 80 families per year with a cancer diagnosis or who have suffered a bereavement by offering various support services including short breaks at Daisy Lodge in Newscastle education days and workshops. The breaks help families to connect with others in similar situations and assist and support them to cope better through a programme of activities they think would be helpful. The key element is to offer them a time away from cancer.
