A hug. Such a simple thing, really. A wordless gesture that says so much.
A hug is care. And understanding. Nothing else can blanket you so instantly in warmth, and love, like a hug can.
All hugs – be they big, small, gentle, strong, happy, sad - come from the heart. And when you’re in one you can feel with all of yours: you’re not alone.
We are delighted to share with you our ‘Give a hug’ campaign, which we launched in September 2023 for Children Cancer Awareness Month. (CCAM) When we rebranded at the beginning of the year, one of the things we liked about our new logo was the orange borders that symbolise embracing arms. It’s inspired our Give A Hug initiative. Throughout CCAM we focused on what hugs mean to families affected by childhood cancer and how this simple gesture can get you through a challenging day, a temporarily relief of stress.
