A whole community feels the impact when a child is diagnosed with cancer…
…grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, family friends, and neighbours. We’re here to help you support your loved ones throughout their cancer experience.
Our services
How we can help
Redkite supports children and teenagers (0-18) diagnosed with cancer, their parents, siblings, grandparents, carers, extended family, and their community.
Emotional & Mental Health Support
We help extended family members and friends manage any effect childhood cancer may have had on their emotions or mental health. Our support is flexible, relaxed, and personalised to each adult or child’s unique needs.
Practical support
We can connect you with the information, tools, and services you may need to support a family throughout their cancer experience. If you have questions about cancer, would like more information on how to support those affected, or need support yourself, our social workers can help.
Helping you help them
Sometimes, it can be hard to ask for help. Redkite’s mobile app, KiteCrew, is a tool you can use to help a family with the day-to-day tasks that are left behind when they’re focused on their child’s care.
