FAMILIES travelling to Glasgow for cancer treatment will now have a home-from-home to live in.

Charity Calum's Cabin has now officially unveiled its new Calum’s Cabin Glasgow Flat in Finnieston, in between the Beatson and the Royal Hospital for Children.

Families who come to the city for treatment not available closer to home can stay for free in the flat.

The Dean Family from Culloden stayed at Calum’s Cabin Glasgow Flat over Christmas this year whilst their youngest daughter, Amy, received treatment for leukaemia.

The five-year-old was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in August 2017 after a family holiday and has undergone eight months of chemotherapy since.

Her mum Denise said: “It was hard to know that we would have to be away from home throughout Amy’s treatment and away from our nine-year-old daughter Rebecca for such a long time but knowing we had somewhere to stay and where family could visit made it bearable.

"When we saw the flat, we couldn’t believe it – it looked like a show flat but it was welcoming, relaxing and felt like a proper home from home in no time.

"We couldn’t believe that people we didn’t know were there to help us, especially after what they’d been through themselves”.

The two-bedroom, two bathroom flat was the brainchild of Caroline, Duncan and Jenna Speirs who established Calum’s Cabin in memory of their son and twin brother, Calum.

Designer and charity ambassador John Amabile leant his expertise to this new project, designing the flat to the highest standards.

Calum’s Cabin is asking individuals, workplaces and organisations to take part in The Kiltwalk in Glasgow on April 29.
