Jak's Den

Welcome!

The idea behind our unique Dens came from Jak himself. 

He wanted his legacy to have at its heart somewhere special for children and young people with cancer and related illnesses to join together. Somewhere they could take a break from their diagnosis, and — along with family and friends — just be themselves for a while.
 
From his vision we’ve created our flagship Jak’s Den at Team Jak’s HQ in Livingston with Jak’s Den Aberdeen and pop-up Jak’s Dens in Glasgow, and Fife.
 
Together Jak’s Dens now provide emotional, social and practical support to children and their families from across Scotland, delivering a wide range of activities.
 
Some of our support includes:

And much more…

Jak's Singing Denners

As part of our ten year celebrations, a number of our Team Jak children — both warriors and siblings — took part in a very special project:  writing, recording and performing this song, ‘Have Hope and Be Happy’.

Jak’s final words were that he wanted everyone to be happy, so for our tenth year we had a ‘Bee Happy’ theme, and alongside writing our first TJ’s Adventures book we also created this special song.
