Our flagship Livingston Jak’s Den is also Team Jak’s HQ, and it’s here we create the range of emotional, practical, and social support services we deliver to children, young people and their families across Scotland.
Whether you’re popping in for a quiet chat, joining in an activity, or just need a listening ear, the Livingston team is on hand to offer some breathing space and the chance to reset. You’ll find a wide mix of options here, from counselling and music therapy to pamper days, creative play, help with homework, and support groups.
We also have a closed Facebook Group just for Jak’s Den families where you can find out more about what we offer and connect privately with others on the same journey.
We are open Tuesday to Friday 10am – 4pm, and the first Sunday of the month. Outside these times, we offer private appointments and we also run various other sessions — including our parent Twilight Sessions on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month — and events throughout the year.
Jak’s Den at Livingston is our family’s safety net. Even if we can’t get there as much as we did, we know everyone is there for us — always. My girl loves taking part in all the Den activities, and Team Jak has helped our family in more ways than they will ever know.
Team Jak, you are truly incredible. Your love and support from the very start of A’s cancer journey has given our family the strength to get through some really dark days. The Den has provided us with a safe space to make so many happy memories as well as the chance to connect with other families.
Team Jak are fantastic. Full of fun and creativity. Our daughter loves coming and now brings her wee bestie who loves it too.
Jak’s Den is our safe place whenever we need it. The team always have an understanding of how we are feeling and we’re never made to feel like a burden, ever. Not sure where we’d be without you all.

Jak’s Den is always a very safe and welcoming place with lots of activities to suit all children. It’s great being able to sit and relax knowing the children are having fun and being children.

Team Jak are still by our side years on from finishing treatment. They still provide us with so many activities that allow us to meet old and new families to share our experiences and just be there for one another. We couldn’t do it without you all.
We provide emotional, social and practical support to children & young people with cancer, their families, friends and those bereaved
