Helping families of seriously ill children to keep moving forward.
About us
Being told your child has cancer or another life-challenging condition is completely devastating and day-to-day life instantly turns upside down. Momentum believes that no family should have to cope alone and supports children, and their families, across Surrey, SW London and Sussex who are faced with the diagnosis of a serious illness. Families know we’re there for the whole journey and the whole family (children, parents, siblings and grandparents) for as long as they need us. All families are different, so we offer individually-tailored practical and emotional support through our family support programme; provide holidays, trips and treats to help during the stress of treatment; and implement projects within hospitals to help enhance the healing environment. Momentum was founded in 2004, and we support 240 families whose child is in active treatment as well as over 100 bereaved families. Registered Charity No. 1195373

On the eighth day of Christmas, we want to celebrate one of our longest-standing corporate partners, Colets Health & Fitness. Colets has been supporting Momentum Children's Charity since the very beginning, even hosting our first ever fundraising event twenty years ago. This year they hosted our inaugural grassroots football tournament in partnership with Fontana Soccer with over 300 children taking part! We have raised money by having stalls at Colets events including their annual fireworks display, and this Christmas they're organising gift card donations for our families and the older children we support through their Giving Tree. Thank you to Kassie-Ann Bangle and everyone at Colets Health & Fitness for your generosity and support. ✨Each day for twelve days we'll be shining a light on our incredible corporate partners and the incredible ways they help to support families of seriously ill children.

✨On the fourth day of Christmas, we are celebrating our "charity of the year" partnership with Garsons Garden Centre, Esher.
