Cancer is a difficult subject to teach in the primary classroom. Kick for CLIC Sargent is a fund-raising project that enables children to play football, understand more about a disease whose very name can be frightening and help those suffering from it. The starter pack contains all the ingredients needed for a successful event, including sponsorship forms, posters and - on a first-come first-served basis - footballs. Information sheets suggest ways of discussing childhood cancer and leukaemia. To register, call the events hotline.
