Press enquiries

Little Ripples welcomes enquiries from journalists and media professionals. If you are writing about children and cancer, family wellbeing, or the charity sector, we would like to help.

About Little Ripples

Little Ripples is a registered charity supporting the emotional wellbeing of children and young people when a parent, guardian, family member or close friend is diagnosed with cancer in England. We connect families to specialist support, information and partner organisations, so that children are not left to navigate this alone.
