about... |
|
|
|
|
|
The organisation was launched on the 8th April 1994 after a
number of parents encouraged by staff at Addenbrooke's decided
that a support group could offer a great deal to the families of
children with cancer on Ward C2, both during and after treatment.
The committee is made up of volunteers who have themselves
experienced childhood cancer in the past and can empathise and
understand the difficulties encountered by families with a very
sick child.
COPARS is a registered charity and membership is free. It is
basically a network of Parents, Relatives and Carers joined by
the common thread of childhood cancer.
The Organisation exists to bring together these very special
people who love and care for very special children. There is an
organised programme of events throughout the year - a chance
for COPARS families to meet each other in a social atmosphere at
various venues and to have fun together. Highlights have
included:- Summer Barbecues, Visits to local Theme Parks,
Easter Events & Christmas Pantomime.
There are also COPARS volunteers who visit the wards once a
week to meet with families who want support.
