Children’s Leukaemia Association

The Children’s Leukaemia Association is a registered Charity based in the Mercy University Hospital that supports and assists families whose children are being cared for in the Children’s Leukaemia Unit. We receive no government funding and rely entirely on voluntary contributions from the public. All donations we receive for the Children’s Leukaemia Association are used to benefit the children who suffer from Leukaemia, Cancer or other serious blood disorders. Our fund is also used for research, counselling and ongoing developments within our services as well as providing home from home accommodation for families who have to travel long distances while their child is being treated in the Unit. Each year we also send children (and a parent) who are finished treatment to Lourdes.
