Supporting the Paediatric Oncology Unit
At LATCH, we are dedicated to improving the lives of children with cancer by funding vital clinical initiatives and innovative projects that directly benefit our young patients and their families.
Our support extends beyond emotional and practical care, we actively invest in the Paediatric Oncology Unit, ensuring children receive the highest standard of clinical care both in hospital and at home.
LATCH funds the purchase of specialised medical equipment and a range of clinical projects designed to make life on the ward more comfortable while enhancing treatment outcomes.
By helping to improve care on the ward and at home, we give families the peace of mind that their child is receiving the very best support at every stage of their treatment journey.
