Children’s cancer charity Camp Quality has announced a significant expansion of its services aimed at supporting families dealing with childhood cancer.
In an inclusive new move, Camp Quality has launched website registration forms, posters, and brochures in Hindi, ensuring that more families can access the help and support they need. This addition builds on the charity’s mission to assist families of children aged 0-15 diagnosed with cancer, offering free programs at every stage of their cancer journey.
Camp Quality’s comprehensive services include family getaways, camps, and fun days to reconnect families, boost resilience, and create lasting memories during an incredibly challenging time. The charity is devoted to building a supportive community for children and their families, regardless of language barriers.
Reaching More Families, Ensuring No One is Left Behind
Deborah Thomas, CEO of Camp Quality, emphasised the importance of inclusive support for all families in Australia, stating:
“Camp Quality’s mission is to provide valuable support to all Australian families going through the trauma of a child’s diagnosis. We know how tough childhood cancer is, and no family should miss out on the support they need.”
Thomas further explained that the newly launched translated registration services will help break down communication barriers and ensure that every parent, regardless of their language background, can register for Camp Quality’s programs.
A free interpreter service is also available for those who speak languages other than those covered or who need additional support during the registration process.
“These translated registration services enable every parent to register for Camp Quality’s programs,” she said.
“We look forward to many new families enjoying the benefits of Camp Quality’s supportive programs.”
Multicultural Efforts Through Translation
Camp Quality worked in collaboration with multicultural communication agency Ethnolink to ensure that its resources were translated into five of the most commonly spoken languages in Australia—Arabic, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Hindi. This effort aims to broaden access and provide equitable support to culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Australia.
The initiative follows the successful translation of Camp Quality’s “Kids’ Guide to Cancer” website and app into Hindi, Arabic, Cantonese, and Mandarin in 2023. These efforts are intended to make vital resources and information available to more families and children in a language they understand, supporting their journey with knowledge and understanding.
Families interested in learning more about Camp Quality’s supportive programs, including their Kids’ Guide to Cancer, can visit their website to access these newly available resources in different languages.
Camp Quality’s expanded language offerings represent a positive step towards inclusion, ensuring that families dealing with the challenge of childhood cancer feel supported and informed throughout their journey. By making registration accessible in multiple languages, Camp Quality reaffirms its commitment to leaving no family behind in the fight against childhood cancer.
