Help families when they need it most
Registered charity number 1195373 (formerly 1106677)
We’re here for families facing childhood cancer, serious illness and bereavement, for as long as we’re needed.
Being told your child has cancer or another life-challenging condition is devastating. We’re here to make sure that no family has to cope alone during times of unimaginable strain.
Family support workers
From the moment a family is referred to us by one of our partner hospitals, our Family Support Team are there to help every step of the way, for as long as we’re needed.
Hospital partnerships
Our partnerships with NHS hospitals across London, Surrey and Sussex are what makes our charity unique. They’ve been formed so we can make every hospital experience as positive as it can be.
Bereavement support
Should the unthinkable happen, Momentum Echoes is there to support families through their grief. We support families whose child has died, whether or not they were already known to us. If a child has died suddenly, through suicide or unexpected illness, we’re here to support their family.
At Momentum, we support the whole family, through treatment, uncertainty and beyond.
