Online Programmes
We would like to let you know about a change to our support programmes.
After a review of the impact of our current model, we have identified an opportunity to rethink the support programmes such as sibling camps and parent retreats.
As a result, we have decided to press pause on all programmes for the rest of the year, which will give us a chance to reassess what they look like for whānau. In the interest of developing better programmes, we look forward to doing some research and coming back with an improved plan.
Our ultimate goal is to get back to the basics of why we run support programmes: to provide whānau with a space to form connections. Thank you for your understanding as we work towards improving our service for whānau impacted by childhood cancer.

Online Antics
Children on cancer treatment often need to isolate to protect their health and help their body recover. It can really make them feel lonely and disconnected. That’s where Online Antics comes in. Each month, participating tamariki receive a special box of crafty supplies and resources in the mail—half the fun is opening their kit! Then, they join other children on treatment in an online session led by a Play Specialist to complete the activity together. It’s a chance to connect, share experiences and most importantly, have fun. A little joy and conversation can really go a long way while going through cancer. We send between 6 and 16 kits across Aotearoa each month, helping tamariki feel a little less alone on their journey. Our thanks to New Zealand Couriers who sponsor the mailing of all our packs. If you're a family in our care and want to learn more about this programme, please contact your Family Support Coordinator.
