Homes from Home

													
Children and young people's cancer is often treated in a specialist centre rather than the local hospital. That may be a long way from home, so at a time when families should only have to focus on their child or young person's treatment, they’re worrying about the logistics and costs of getting to hospital, and where they’re going to stay close to them. 
Our Homes from Home are a free place for families to stay when their child is going through cancer treatment. They’re close to principal treatment centres, helping families avoid the extra financial burdens of travel, accommodation and food costs. They also allow young cancer patients to be close to their loved ones, keeping the family together at a difficult time.
If we don’t have a Home from Home near to a hospital, our social workers may be able to help young cancer patients and their families to arrange somewhere to stay.
If you don’t have a Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker please get in contact.
