Beads of courage, how to take part

How To Take Part

The Beads of Courage UK Oncology programme is fully sponsored by Children With Cancer UK. If you are an Oncology ward and aren’t currently enrolled on the programme, send an email to info@beadsofcourageuk.org and we will arrange training to get you on the programme.

To participate in any of our other programmes it's important to note that hospitals must secure funding or sponsorship to be able to enrol their ward/unit. The cost for this is £5,000, which will provide you your in-person training for staff, your initial two-year renewable license, and your start-up bead stock.

Once your stock has been depleted there will be the ongoing cost of replenishing beads and other miscellaneous products. After becoming a part of the programme, you will become familiar with the beads that are most frequently used by your patients, and therefore will need to order these beads at a greater rate than other, less-frequently given beads. 

NB: Every hospital is required to enter into a sub-license agreement with Beads of Courage UK, which needs to be renewed every two years. The renewal cost every two years is £500.
