CHECT meet-ups

Family meet-ups

CHECT provide a fun day out with time to explore the venue, come together for lunch and an activity, as well as hosting the CHECT Champion awards! There is always time for the children to play together and for parents to chat with other families as well as relax and enjoy the day.

Adult meet-ups

  • The chance to meet others who’ve had retinoblastoma. 
  • Time to chat, laugh, and make new friends. 
  • Incredible views from the top of the O2. 
  • And once we’ve got both feet back on the ground, a pizza together afterwards!
