It's good 2 give is a Scottish charity that supports the physical and mental well-being of young cancer patients and their families. We offer a wide range of support, including:
* Practical support, such as parent packs and ad hoc support for hospitals.
* Mental health support, through the funding of four psychologist posts in Edinburgh and Glasgow for five years.
* The Ripple Retreat, a purpose-built, restful place on the shores of Loch Venachar.
We work in partnership with hospitals and patient organisations to deliver the assistance that young cancer patients and their families need.
Here are some specific examples of how we support young cancer patients and their families:
* We provide parent packs to families when their child is first diagnosed with cancer. The packs contain essential items such as toiletries, t shirt, notebook/pen, and much more.
* We offer ad hoc support to hospitals, such as providing funding for new equipment or supporting staff training.
* We fund four psychologist posts in Edinburgh and Glasgow to provide mental health support to young cancer patients and their families.
* We host young cancer patients and their families at our purpose-built, restful place on the shores of Loch Venachar.
The Ripple Retreat provides a peaceful escape and opportunity to relax during this difficult time.
We are committed to supporting young cancer patients and their families in Scotland. We believe that everyone deserves to have the best possible quality of life, regardless of their diagnosis.
