Childhood cancer is hard, but getting help doesn’t have to be. There’s a whole new language to learn, emotions to deal with, extra expenses to juggle and new routines to organise. It can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help. 

The myRedkite portal is where you can access all of Redkite’s childhood cancer support services. 

‘myRedkite’ is a dedicated app designed to provide parents, carers, young people affected by cancer, and their extended families with easy access to Redkite's full range of support services.
