Caring for a child with cancer or losing a child to cancer is the most devastating experience for a family. Calum's Cabin is a children's cancer charity that provide holidays and accommodation to families affected by childhood cancer. Our weeklong breaks give families a chance to be together, relax and recharge their batteries for what may lie ahead. We currently have 6 holiday properties which are spread between the Isle of Bute, Ayrshire, Anstruther and Aviemore.


Calum's Cabin also have 12 flats in Glasgow which provide a home from home environment for families who have had to travel further distances for longer term stays while their child undergoes cancer treatments at the nearby central hospitals. They provide weekly online mindfulness courses to support parents and family members. As well as supporting around 250 families a year Calum's Cabin provides monthly snacks to children's oncology wards across Scotland, around 600 easter eggs and up to 600 Christmas presents a year.

Kilwalk fundraising makes a huge difference to Calum's Cabin. The support we receive from our walkers as well as their friends, family and colleagues allow us to continue to support hundreds of families per year.

  • £100 will provide a family spending money on their holiday to help them with activities and experiences, taking some financial pressure away.
  • £250 will provide a month's snacks to a children's oncology ward, giving some small comforts while undergoing treatment.
  • It costs on average of £1000 per family, so £6000 per week just for our holidays, and it totals around £750 a month to manage and upkeep each flat

Funds raised by our walkers at the Kiltwalk go a very long way in allowing us to continue to support so many families going through the darkest of times.

Calum's Cabin were founded in the memory of Calum Speirs
