When a child falls prey to cancer, doctors and hospitals open the gates to treatment and cure. But the road is long and fraught with pain and trauma. Diagnosis of cancer in a child leaves most families completely unprepared for the overwhelming emotional and financial pressures that occur as their struggle with this deadly disease begins.

Thankfully, it is not a journey they need to make alone. The Children's Cancer Foundation helps families stay focused on the child's needs by providing them with a holistic array of family-oriented support services that improve the quality of their lives and help them fight physical pain and psychological suffering at every stage of the journey.

The focus of our service programme is to help any child with cancer, and the whole family. Whether we do this through counselling, support groups, or by simply providing information and resources on childhood cancer to interested individuals or groups, our goal is simple – to ensure that we are there at every step to support patients, their families, the doctors, the nurses, the hospitals, and the public at large in the fight against cancer.

Our service centre in Wong Tai Sin underwent renovation in 2025 and reopened in 2026 as the Children’s Cancer Foundation Community Service Centre (Wong Tai Sin), replacing the Family Service Centre previously located there.

With growing public awareness of children’s health education, a new initiative was introduced – the Wong Shing Yim Applied Health Education Centre, empowered by Child Life Services. Its mission is to promote and deliver both physical and mental health education. The Centre features an interactive, play-based learning space designed for children aged three to nine. A variety of themed programmes are developed to equip young learners with essential life skills, helping them to lead healthier and happier lives.

Community Service Centre (Wong Tai Sin) also houses an equipment-loan facility, a case assessment room, and a donor wall recognising significant contributions.
