React (Rapid Effective Assistance for Children with potentially Terminal illness) is a dynamic charity working to improve the quality of life for children with life-limiting illnesses living in financially disadvantaged households throughout the UK.

What we do

• Our passion and belief that every child should have comfort, dignity, and the opportunity to participate in life as fully as possible is our driving force.
• We are passionate: React supports families throughout a child's lifetime, providing vital, practical assistance 52 weeks of the year.
• We act fast: React responds with practical and sensitive support within days, if not hours. When a child's life is short, an immediate response is vital.
• We keep it simple: React eliminates red tape and bureaucracy, allowing aid to be given quickly and without fuss.
• We care and understand: React works to give children with life-shortening illnesses comfort, dignity and where possible, greater independence.
