What is Anthony Nolan Family Camp?
Anthony Nolan Family Camp is more than a weekend away – it’s a space for families to relax, connect, and find joy in a safe and understanding community.
Created in partnership with Anthony Nolan, this unique weekend is designed to bring together families affected by stem cell transplants and blood disorders – offering a chance to engage, enjoy, and rediscover childhood freedom together.
Our shared mission is simple: to give families facing serious health challenges a place to just be together – surrounded by people who truly understand.
Who Can Come to Anthony Nolan Family Camp?
We invite families with a young person who:
– Has had or is waiting for a stem cell transplant
– Has received CAR-T therapy
– Is living with or recovering from blood cancer
– Has a blood disorder (Sickle Cell, Thalassaemia, etc.)
– Has had an organ transplant
If this sounds like your family’s journey, we’d love to receive your application.
To attend camp, your family must include at least one child aged 8–17. Families with only children under 8, unfortunately, aren’t eligible at this time.
