It’s good 2 give was founded on 20 April 2010 by Ian & Lynne McNicoll OBE.
It’s good 2 give is committed to supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of young cancer patients (aged 0-18) and their families in Scotland.
We offer a wide range of support to both patients and hospitals. That includes practical support, mental health support, and providing short breaks at our purpose built retreat. We work closely with hospitals and organisations to identify and deliver projects in line with our aims.
We fund four psychologist posts on the children’s oncology wards; two in Edinburgh and two in Glasgow, to support a young cancer patients mental health from diagnosis.
We are also proud to host young cancer patients and their families at the Ripple Retreat—a purpose-built, restful place on the shores of Loch Venachar, Callander. It provides a peaceful escape and opportunity to relax and focus on mental wellness, offering families time away from doctors, procedures, and hospitals, in a safe and calming environment.
