Tune-in for Jak’s Den TV special
A spotlight is being shone on a charity for young people and their families in a TV special next week.
Jak’s Den in Livingston provides a haven for those undergoing gruelling treatment and was the vision of teenager Jak Trueman, who lost his own fight with an aggressive form of cancer.
The charity has received a £2000 grant from the STV Children’s Appeal and the cameras will be on Jak’s Den during a programme next week.
STV2 presenter Laura Boyd will join the children and parents.
Allison Barr from Team Jak said: “We are hugely grateful for the grant, which will help towards counselling and therapy for children with cancer and their families.”
Natalie Wright of STV Children’s Appeal said: “We are now in the midst of planning another fantastic line-up of fundraising events and programming for 2018.”
The show can be seen on Tuesday (March 20) at 8pm.
