We have raised nearly £3000 in the last two years.
Every day 10 families are told their child has cancer. As the UK's leading children's cancer charity, CLIC Sargent is the only organisation to offer them all round care and support.
That’s because CLIC are there every step of the way:
During treatment - providing specialist nurses, play specialists, Homes from Home
In hospital & at home - offering specialist social care and support in the community - services for young people, holidays, grants
After treatment - helping survivors, supporting those bereaved
CHARITY EVENTS
BE PART OF SOMETHING AMAZING AND HELP TO RAISE MONEY FOR AN EXCELLENT CHARITY
At Shear Soccer our team of coaches work tirelessly in partnership with schools and clubs to hold events that will raise money for charity.
The charity
The last two years have seen us in local schools within the ‘South Dartmoor School Sports Partnership’ holding penalty shoot outs and other events. We have increased the fun element by asking teachers to be the goalkeepers. The pupils have loved trying to score against their teachers to raise money for CLIC.
About childhood cancer
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it can seem like normal life stops and a different journey begins.
It’s a journey that tests families physically, emotionally, socially and financially.
To be told that a child has cancer comes as a terrible shock. Yet to know that seven out of 10 children now survive cancer may offer some kind of comfort and reassurance to families.
Thanks to research into treatment and causes, the outlook is now one of hope, forward thinking and positive outcomes.
