Contact Magazine Past issues

The award-winning Contact magazine is a free quarterly magazine for families of children and young people with cancer.

Launched in 2004, it acts as an essential source of information and reduces the isolation that families with children diagnosed with a rare disease, such as cancer, inevitably face. Each themed issue focuses on one aspect of cancer in children and young people, and contains informative articles by childhood cancer professionals and stories from parents, young people and childhood cancer survivors.

 

Community

A true community is about feeling connected and responsible for what happens and bringing comfort and kindness during difficult times. Friends, neighbours, work colleagues, hospital staff and other families facing the same diagnosis are all types of communities that can give help and support. Wider medical and scientific communities also exist where professionals work together, both nationally and internationally, to drive positive change for all children with cancer. Communities are all around us - we just need to reach out and ask for help.
