What We Do
At the Opie Jones Foundation, we’re committed to supporting families affected by childhood cancer and advocating for better, kinder treatments. Our approach focuses on providing emotional and mental health resources, raising awareness, and driving change to ensure innovative therapies are accessible to all.
Our Core Work
Advocacy and Awareness
We advocate for earlier access to approved cell and gene therapies in the treatment of childhood cancer.
By sharing our family’s personal journey through childhood cancer and the transformative impact of cell and gene therapy, we raise awareness at events, conferences, and corporate meetings.
Our mission is to inspire action and drive change for timely access to these life-saving treatment.
Mental Health Support for Families
We provide financial support for mental health services, ensuring families can access the care they need. Our grants cover therapy options such as counselling, psychotherapy, and play therapy.
Families can choose an accredited therapist that best suits their needs, and we pay the therapist directly for their services. These grants are designed to offer choice and autonomy over the support best suited to the individual.
We offer support programs for parents and family members to access, which will provide an opportunity for peer-to-peer support and informative sessions from professionals to help with wellbeing.
Family Resources
Sharing accessible and reliable resources about approved cell and gene therapies like CAR-T.
We also provide positive wellbeing and mental health resources for parents and family members to access during and after childhood cancer.
Comprehensive Support for Families Facing Childhood Cancer
A childhood cancer diagnosis impacts the entire family, which is why we fund mental health services, provide counseling, and connect loved ones through peer support groups. We champion access to innovative therapies like CAR-T by collaborating with medical experts and policymakers, ensuring families receive timely information and care.
Through awareness campaigns, we educate communities about advanced treatments and the emotional toll of traditional approaches. By advocating for earlier access to life-saving therapies, we strive to make cutting-edge care a first choice, not a last resort.
