Description

Housekeeper
When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family.

Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.


At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them.

Join us and your skills will make a real difference to the lives of young cancer patients.

One of the services we provide to families is a Home from Home Service.

Our Homes from Home are a free place for families to stay when their child is going through cancer treatment.
