Background
The charity’s founders discovered what they collectively call “the power of the holiday”. Day trips away or longer holidays gave each family something to look forward to after the family member with cancer had an operation or a course of treatment. They also provided precious memories if the person later went on to die.

Respite Days

Today, the 4 Cancer Group organizes days out and short breaks for families affected by cancer. This is what we call “respite”.

As of 1 January 2019, we have sent over 5,500 people away on respite breaks and provided over 24,000 respite days so far.
