Alexander Devine Childrens Cancer Trust
Childcare Services in Slough, Berkshire
Alexander Devine Children's Cancer Trust has been established in memory of our amazing son Alexander. Alexander was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour in November 2001 at the tender age of just four years. He endured operations, treatments and chemotherapy in his four year fight against cancer, with exceptional courage and bravery, with great dignity and without complaint. He has taught us all so much. In honour of his outstanding courage and strength we currently have formed this trust. The long term goal for Alexander's Trust is to establish and fund a Children's Hospice service in the Berkshire area.

About Us
read moreOurs is a story of an ordinary family who were blessed with an extraordinary little boy. The journey that was to change our lives began in November 2001 when our precious first child was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just four years of age, there is nothing in this world that can prepare you for such a trauma, and life is never the same again. Alexander was a very bright and funny child; he loved life and his family very much and had wisdom far beyond his years. Our son endured four and a half years of operations, treatments and therapy and sadly died at the age of eight.
What we do
read moreWe understand that when a child has complex healthcare needs and requires round-the-clock care, the emotional and physical pressures on families can be immense. Taking a break from caring is not always possible. Respite care provides you with the opportunity to do the things that you might not normally have the chance to do. Whether you chose for respite to be in your own home or in our hospice, you will have peace of mind that your child is being looked after by a caring team that they know and trust as well as having plenty of fun.
