When we received a request from Leeds Children’s Hospital, Kids for Life were delighted to help out. In our previous issue of the Kids for Life magazine, we highlighted the importance of play for children undergoing treatment, and the role it has in assisting their recovery.
Naomi House recently launched an appeal to raise much needed funding to refurbish their hospice and Kids for Life were more than happy to help out! We have sponsored a leaf on the Giving Tree that is housed in the hospice, providing a boost for the provision of care and assistance to life limited and life threatened children in their care.

Kids Cancer Charity
Kids Cancer Charity was established in 1989 as Christian Lewis Trust to help children with cancer and their families. Its objectives remain unchanged as we continue to strive to help all children affected by cancer but we have, over the last 25 years broadened the range of scope of the services we offer.
Solving Kids’ Cancer
Solving Kids’ Cancer supports families affected by high-risk childhood cancers in the areas of neuroblastoma, brain tumours and sarcomas. We fund the next generation of innovative research in these challenging areas. We also offer a range of family support services to help inform and support families faced with childhood cancer.

This charity is designed to help children access the latest evolution of radiotherapy treatment – Proton Therapy – which is extremely effective in treating mass tumour cancers, whilst at the same time, causing significantly less collateral damage to sensitive and/or not yet fully developed healthy tissue and organs than traditional Radio Therapy, because of the pinpoint accuracy, control and focus the Proton Therapy process allows.
