Today, 10 children and young people in the UK will hear the shocking news that they have cancer.
Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years. Being diagnosed with cancer is a frightening experience and the emotional, practical and financial implications of treatment are intensely challenging for the whole family.
For brothers and sisters of disabled children and adults
Sibs is a UK charity for siblings who may be finding it hard to cope with a brother or sister who is disabled, has special educational needs or a serious long term condition.
It is the only UK charity representing the needs of over half a million young siblings and over one and a half million adult siblings.
Sibs can give information and advice both over the phone and online. Sibs also runs YoungSibs, an online only support service for siblings in the UK aged 7 to 17.
EDNE aims to help people in Tyneside, Wearside, Northumberland and County Durham whose lives are affected by eating distress, or eating disorders. We do this by providing a range of services including individual counselling, mindfulness courses, a support group for carers, health topic workshops, information and training. We also work in schools and other settings to increase knowledge and awareness of eating distress and its effects.
Our main focus is to work with children and young people most in need, including those with mild to moderate disabilities or additional needs. Our SEN offer focuses on activities and events based at our sites across Tyneside.
We have SEN Community hubs which offer young people (14-25) the chance to meet in a safe environment where they can socialise outside school, form new friendships, and become more confident and independent. (They are currently on hold while we look for a new venue).
