It is a day where parents affected by cancer can learn different tools, skills and practical solutions that can help with parenting. Particularly when energy levels are low and children’s behaviour is tricky.

Our Parenting with Cancer Coaching Programme has shown very positive results but many people cannot commit to 8 weeks, so we have taken the best bits of the programme and create one day.

Yes. We provide lunch and refreshments and a resource pack to take home.

Parents attending the first four toolsheds in Feb - May will also be offered a £200 digital systemic therapy package for their children and family, at no cost.

No sorry. This is for adults only.

The day runs from 9.30am to 2.45pm with regular breaks.

There are 10 spaces per Toolshed available.

As this is a pilot we may change this group number.

Self-care

Feelings & Behaviour

Emotional and behavioural changes in children

Parenting with low energy

The Art of Parenting from the Sofa

Lots of tools to use at home

Places to go for more support

Resources

Until May 2025 the Parent Toolsheds are being run in London because Macmillan London is funding them.

After May, we will be able to go across the UK.
