Wherever you are, there's a place for you here

When cancer comes into a family, everyone feels it. Children ask questions they can't put into words. Young people carry worries they're unsure how to share. Parents try to hold it all together. We're here for all of you.

An aspiring charity, rooted in lived experience

Little Ripples exists to address a profound and often overlooked gap in support, for children and young people across England experiencing a cancer diagnosis in a parent, guardian, family member or close friend.

Through equitable access to tailored support, education and enriching activities, we help children not just to cope, but to thrive.
