Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) CCF is a non-profit organisation that aims to improve the quality of lives of children with cancer and their families through enhancing their emotional, social and medical well-being. Since 1996, CCF has helped more than 1,400 children and their families at its two family support centres at KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital (KKH) and the National University Hospital (NUH). These children under the age of 19 have to go through a rigorous treatment regime. Besides the physical pain caused by cancer and its treatment, young patients often feel isolated because of the withdrawal from school and prolonged stay in the hospital. Cancer is a debilitating disease that takes its toll, physically, emotionally and mentally, not only on the child but also on his or her family. CCF helps our beneficiaries cope with their needs at different stages of the illness. NETS Role NETS will take part in public education programmes to raise awareness about the illness and encourage active volunteerism amongst its staff members. It will also assist in raising funds for children’s treatment and lend a hand to help ease the financial pinch that parents grapple with due to the steep cost of medical treatments. NETS staff volunteers will devote their time to relieving the parents, who struggle to balance time at work, at home and at the centre as they attend to the well being of their sick child. They will raise awareness about the ailment, assist those children who have trailed behind in schoolwork while undergoing treatment and thus, make their transition back to their schools faster and easier.
