We are a signposting partner with Young Lives v Cancer and as such Mercy’s Mighty Foundation will receive referrals directly from Social Care Teams located within hospital settings.
We have included some useful links below for anyone dealing with a paediatric cancer diagnosis who may need further advice and guidance around key areas such as finance and bereavement support.
