About Shine A Light Childhood Cancer Support
At Shine A Light we provide valuable support and an understanding community for people affected cancer and their families who live in Coventry and Warwickshire. Much of our work specialises in supporting families affected by childhood cancer. We also run counselling and play therapy services for anyone affected by cancer and we are developing other work to support adults who have cancer and their families including groups running from our cancer support centre in Rugby. We are volunteers from all walks of life, with one thing in common: We understand the journey patients and their families have to go on, and we want to do everything we can to make life better for those dealing with cancer right now.
Our charity was founded in 2016 by Sam Schoolar. Sam is a survivor of childhood cancer. She understands first-hand the difficulties and gaps in the service and support that families experience. She set up Shine a Light to close those gaps.
