Further info
Everybody’s experience of cancer is different, so we tailor care for each family, including
- funding for mental health therapy
- treats, toys and gifts
- respite trips
- food shop vouchers
- practical help with hospital transport
- bereavement support
We also encourage people to donate blood and register as potential bone marrow donors, as these are needed in some cancer treatments. Gold Geese receives no Governnment funding and relies on donations for its work.
