The Christian Lewis Trust aims:
- To improve the quality of life for children affected by cancer.
- To provide emotional and practical support that complements and adds value to the services provided by the statutory authorities.
Providing a confidential 'listening ear' for anyone who is or ever has been affected by a child with cancer - the family centred care includes:
- Dream holidays: specially co-ordinated 'stress-free' programmes that ensure that families who need a break in the UK, or wish to visit Disneyland Paris and Disney World Florida, do not have to worry about anything other than enjoying themselves.
- Play therapy - using play and creative arts to help children express their feelings and experiences helping children affected by cancer to try and come to terms with their situation.
- Be-friending - either face to face or by telephone or correspondence is available for anyone whose life has been affected by a child with cancer.
- Bereavement - the charity offers 'one to one' bereavement and pre-bereavement support for both children and adults. It also runs support groups providing an opportunity for meeting others who have similar experiences.
