Supporting families affected by cancer

Our Comfort Box service is now available for children, young people affected by cancer and their families in Edinburgh and Lothians.

Our boxes are available for those being treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the Western General. The boxes are tailored to meet the needs of children and families, whether managing inpatient care or putting their lives back on track following a cancer diagnosis.
