We opened the doors to Jak’s Den Aberdeen in 2022 to bring the warmth, support, and sparkle we’d already created from Jak’s legacy at our Livingston HQ to families across the north and north-east of Scotland.
Our Aberdeen Den is a cosy, colourful safe haven filled with laughter, creativity, and calm. We offer a mix of emotional, practical, and social support, tailored to individual family needs and ranging from counselling through to arts and crafts, help with homework, and group meetups.
We also have a closed Facebook Group just for Aberdeen Jak’s Den families where you can find out more about what we offer and connect privately with others on the same journey.
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. Macy loves coming and now brings her wee bestie Millie who loves it too.
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.

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 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.
We provide emotional, social and practical support to children & young people with cancer, their families, friends and those bereaved
