The Followmont Transport Charity Golf Day is a fantastic way to gain business exposure, enjoy networking opportunities, and experience a wonderful day on the green, all while helping regional families facing childhood cancer. So, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a golf pro (or not), or you just want to have some fun and support a great cause then get a team together and join the fun.
We hope to see you there for a tee-rific day!

Each week families are able to come together around our playground for a complimentary coffee, cake and chat with our Family Social Worker. Our Coffee, Cake & Chat events allows families the opportunity to be in a warm and nurturing environment with other families alike and provide support to one another. It is also a time to forget about hospital appointments and enjoy the social aspects of being with other families.
It is a lovely environment where our children are playing in our outdoor playground whilst parents can chat and get to know each other. Many long-standing friendships have been forged at Childhood Cancer Support with our families around our social events.
We also invite guest speakers to talk with the families about issues relevant to their cancer journey.
On the last Friday of each month, Childhood Cancer Support offers a free BBQ for all families. It is an evening where the parents and children can unwind, eat a sumptuous steak cooked on the BBQ and sample delicious accompanying foods, plus enjoy one another’s company in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our BBQs are run by volunteers, who provide this service with much love and dedication to our oncology families.
Our Family Social Worker organises activities each school holiday period for the resident families and those families who have previously stayed with Childhood Cancer Support. These activities are for all family members and are different each holiday period. Activities include arts and crafts, cooking, in-house movie days, excursions, sports or competitions. Our Family Social Worker makes the activities inclusive for patients and their siblings and ensures that if a patient wants to attend but needs some support or assistance, that appropriate arrangements are made.
We also offer the following supports for families:
