September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

This September, as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re inviting crèches, preschools and childcare settings across Ireland to take part in More Precious Than Gold. 

More Precious Than Gold is a fun and meaningful campaign that helps young children learn about kindness, friendship and helping others, while supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer.
