Some of our activities take place at a national level and are not only focused at the treatment centres. These include:

WARNING SIGNS PROJECT
To help ensure that children are diagnosed early enough to benefit from treatment, we support the distribution of posters and travel by medical consultants to primary healthcare clinics. To find out more, click here

REGISTRY PROJECT
We provide funding to the South African Children’s Cancer Study Group (SACCSG) to enable the reliable collection of data and statistics in order to ensure that adequate capacity exists for the treatment of childhood cancer

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PROJECT
We sponsor a project that provides material for schools where children have been diagnosed as well as speakers when required, thereby facilitating the return of children to school after treatment

ADVOCACY
We try to ensure that government and medical aid policies are in place that allow for the best treatment possible for all children with cancer

LOCAL CONFERENCES & MEETINGS
We organise national conferences where parents and medical as well as support staff can come together, share experiences and learn from each other. Click on Choc Chatter to find out more

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES & CONNECTIONS
We are a member of the International Confederation of Childhood Cancer Parent Organisations (ICCCPO) that brings together parent groups from around the world. We have both learnt and contributed to a better understanding of childhood cancer in developing countries
