At Emerge, we believe being a responsible business means more than providing great products and services. It also means supporting the communities around us and helping make a positive difference where it matters most.

That’s why we’re proud to support Team Jak, a Scottish children’s cancer charity providing emotional, social and practical support to children and young people with cancer, their families, friends and those who have been bereaved.

Through our financial support, we’re helping Team Jak continue the important work they do for families facing one of the most difficult experiences imaginable.

Supporting Families Beyond Medical Care

A childhood cancer diagnosis affects far more than a child’s physical health. It can change everyday family life, relationships, education, friendships and emotional wellbeing.

Team Jak understands that families need support throughout the cancer journey, not just during medical treatment.

The charity supports children and young people aged 0 to 25, as well as their families and friends, through a range of services including:

• One-to-one and group counselling
• Music therapy and wellbeing activities
• Support for siblings
• Bereavement support
• Social activities and events
• Practical support for families

Creating a Safe Space

At the heart of Team Jak’s work are its Jak’s Dens. They are welcoming spaces where children and young people affected by cancer, alongside their families and friends, can take a break from the pressures of diagnosis and treatment.

The Dens provide opportunities to connect with others who understand what they are going through, take part in activities, make friends and simply enjoy being themselves.

Team Jak also provides outreach support for families who may not be able to visit a Den, ensuring support can be accessed at home, in hospital or online.

Why Supporting Charities Matters to Emerge

Corporate social responsibility allows businesses to contribute beyond their day-to-day operations.

For Emerge, supporting Team Jak is a way to contribute to a charity doing incredibly important work for families across Scotland.

We’re proud to play a small part in helping Team Jak continue its mission to create smiles and ease the journey for children, young people and families facing childhood cancer.

Making a Difference Together

Since launching in 2015, Team Jak has supported hundreds of families across Scotland, providing emotional, social and practical support throughout their cancer journeys.

Their work highlights the importance of supporting the whole family — providing not only practical help, but also connection, friendship, reassurance and moments of happiness during an incredibly challenging time.

We’re delighted to support an organisation that puts families at the heart of everything it does, and we look forward to continuing our support for Team Jak and the families they help.
