At Antics Charity, we are dedicated to providing meaningful support to children and young people up to 18 years old who are affected by cancer, whether directly or through a close family member. We’re here to bring comfort, relief, and a little joy in difficult times.

Help
Getting help
To ensure that our support reaches those who genuinely need it, we ask that all applications are submitted through a regulated body, such as a school or hospital. We carefully review each case to determine the most appropriate way to provide assistance, liaising with family and professional support workers where necessary.
Bring a Little Joy
How We Can Help
Our goal is to bring a bit of relief, joy, and support to families going through tough times. Here are some of the ways we’ve been able to help.
Special Family Days
We’ve organised trips to places like Chessington Zoo, Manchester Football Club, and Legoland to create memorable experiences for families.
Wishes for Children
We fulfill meaningful wishes, providing items like a clarinet, a TV, or a cherished toy to comfort and bring happiness to children.
Support During Treatment
We sponsored a horse whispering course for a child in remission, offering a healing and uplifting experience.
Memorable Holidays
For children facing the terminal illness of a parent, We helped towards the funding of a family trip to Disneyland.

Dear Sandy, thank you and the Antics team for enabling our family to have a new member – Bella. Although nothing can change our devastation, Bella has given my daughter (and my wife and I) so much joy. Bella is a very special puppy, and you are all very special people. – Dad

I would just like to say to The Antics Charity that you went above and beyond your remit yesterday, and during the week before, to sort out the iPad for, who is in Bristol Children’s Hospital. He is at that age that he wants to be all grown up and independent, but is still really a little boy, and his frustration at having to be in hospital, for such long periods at a time, is palpable. You have worked so hard to get him his wish. The trustees love the back story about Antics the horse. You keep it all running smoothly, quietly, and kindly.

Meet the gorgeous boy! We had a lovely email from his mum thanking us for his iPad, which they say has been invaluable on their many hospital visits. He was diagnosed with Leukaemia last August & is undergoing very intense chemo of 156 weeks. He has just come to the end of delayed intensification & is about to start maintenance for the next two and a half years. Through all of this, he keeps smiling!
