Canteen, Camp Quality and Redkite are working together to provide Cancer Hub and help families impacted by cancer (with children aged 0-25) more easily access the practical and emotional support they need, when they need it.
Cancer Hub receives funding from the Australian Government.
Canteen supports young people (aged 12-25) who are dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer or the death of a loved one. We provide specialised counselling, career support and opportunities for teens and young adults to connect with others in similar situations.
Camp Quality is there for kids (0-15 years) dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a sibling, parent or carer. We provide free opportunities for fun, friendship and connection, while building understanding of cancer and supportive communities through recreation and education.
Redkite provides holistic community based social work to children and young people facing cancer, aged 0-17, and their families. This includes counselling, care coordination, financial assistance, online information and support, as well as practical resources at diagnosis, whilst in hospital, through treatment and beyond.
