Puttinu Cares

Puttinu Cares, the children’s cancer support group, was set up in October 2002 and began from an idea and desire to offer a holistic approach of care for families with children suffering from cancer.

Their Aim is:

• To advocate on behalf of affected children and their families by representing their needs;
• To campaign for the provision of a coordinated network of care and support;
• To promote models of good care and practice;
• To support families with a national information service;
• To enhance the knowledge and skills of professional carers by providing specialist literature and education opportunities;
• To assist affected children by improving the environment in which they are treated;
• To raise funds through sponsorships, donations and fundraising activities or through any other means as the Management Committee may determine; and
• In general, to do all that is conducive to the attainment of the above aims
