Charities Supported by the Highland Gathering 2024
Young Lives vs Cancer is a charity that helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them.
We know everyone’s different, so we work hard to make sure each family has what they need to get through cancer. It could be a financial grant for a parent struggling to keep their child warm through their treatment or for a young person who can’t afford to get to hospital. Or helping a family stay together at one of our free Homes from Home close to the hospital where their child is having treatment.
Harpenden Lions Club Life Skills programme supports schools in Harpenden and surrounding areas helping young people develop the skills they need to manage their lives and become responsible members of society.
