Gold Geese provides personalised practical and emotional support to families of children and young people fighting cancer in South East Essex.
Everybody’s experience of cancer is different, so we tailor care for each family, including
- funding for mental health therapy
- treats, toys and gifts
- respite trips
- food shop vouchers
- practical help with hospital transport
- bereavement support
We also raise awareness of childhood cancer signs and symptoms and deliver training workshops to childcare practitioners, parents and healthcare professionals.
And we encourage people to donate blood and register as potential bone marrow donors, as these are needed in some cancer treatments.
Gold Geese receives no Government funding and relies on donations for its work.
