Set up in 1993, the charity helps to alleviate the financial problems families face via its hardship fund and "dippy duck" respite break fund, which has awarded 300,000 directly to UK families through more than 2,600 grants.
A transport service also helps children keep hospital appointments or helps families to visit when children stay on a hospital ward.
It currently operates in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow and Birmingham.
The charity also provides education to promote awareness and has a resource centre.
