Children’s Cancer foundation (CCF)

One of our charities of choice, an inspiring organisation that supports the entire family through childhood cancer

Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF) is a non-profit organisation with a mission of improving the quality of lives of children with cancer and their families through enhancing their emotional, social and medical well-being.

Since 1992, CCF has helped more than 1,800 children and their families, providing them the much-needed support in their battle against the life threatening illness.  In a year, CCF helps more than 500 children and their families who are at the different stages of the illness.

Armed with the vision of providing world-class resources and psychosocial services to families impacted by childhood cancer, CCF adopts an integrated hospital-home-community service model to offer a spectrum of critical services to our beneficiaries

  • In the Hospitals - CCF helps children who are newly diagnosed with cancer and undergoing active treatment with their hospital experience. We offer emotional, financial and social support, with a focus on therapeutic play for the children and support activities for their caregivers. Our social workers and counsellors are sited in KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) and the National University Hospital (NUH) to work alongside our medical partners in the paediatric oncology wards.
  • In the Community - With more children surviving childhood cancer, CCF Community Social Work Team provides continual care to help enhance the quality of life for survivors. We help children return to school and support siblings of children with cancer. In collaboration with corporate partners, we offer social and recreational activities for the children and their families.
  • In the Homes of the Children - When a child is at the end stage of his/her life, it is a tremendously challenging time for the dying child and the family members. Palliative support and bereavement support are critical services provided by CCF professionals to improve the quality of life of the impacted families.
