About Momentum Children’s Charity

We started our mission to help families of seriously ill children back in 2004. By offering tailored care to every child referred to us, we’ve been able to support hundreds of families through the hardest of times, so that they can keep moving forward.

Every single day we make a positive difference to the lives of the children and families we support; to be there to help them whatever the outcome, for as long as we’re needed.

Helping hundreds of families

In the last year, we supported 502 families whose child is in active treatment and 186 bereaved families; offering personally tailored support to care for the emotional and mental wellbeing of every single family member.

Because no family should have to cope alone

Everything we do is about making a positive difference when it’s needed most.

Life with a child who has cancer or another life-challenging condition, is incredibly difficult. Some of the most common issues that families will find themselves dealing with are feelings of isolation, anxiety and worry. Education can be affected, family relationships and finances can be strained and, generally, every family member’s wellbeing will be impacted.

As a small and agile organisation we pride ourselves on being able to react quickly to changing family circumstances. We regularly monitor our family’s needs through ongoing evaluation and surveys, so that we can listen to the issues they’re facing, and research and implement new ways of delivering services for them, exactly when and how they’re needed.
