Children with cancer can now get proton beam treatment in Manchester. Please help us raise £250,000 for a new Children with Cancer UK Patient Building in Manchester..
Every day more than 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK.
8 out of 10 young childhood cancer patients can be successfully treated thanks to vital, specialist research we helped fund.
We are working to develop safer, kinder & more effective childhood cancer therapies, with fewer toxic side effects.
We invest in childhood cancer research that would otherwise go unfunded. Out of every £100 spent on cancer research in the UK, only £3 is spent on childhood cancer.
As a children’s cancer charity, we actively raise and invest money to fund specialist research to improve our understanding of childhood cancer and save the life of every child affected by it.
We are there when families need us most. By funding welfare projects, delivering unforgettable events and fostering a loving environment, we strive to make the world a happier place for children.
To save children’s lives, research is essential. Childhood cancers are different to adult cancers and need their own research. Most childhood cancers are unique to children.
At Children with Cancer UK we want to find safer, more effective treatments for all young patients. Cancer is still the most common medical cause of death in children and young people. Our focus as a children’s cancer charity is to fund visionary research and bring the breakthroughs that will bring hope to children and their families.

The O’Gorman family was shattered when brother and sister, Paul and Jean, fell victim to cancer within nine months of each other. 14-year-old Paul died only nine weeks after his initial diagnosis of leukaemia. But before he died, Paul asked his parents, Marion and Eddie O’Gorman, to help other children with leukaemia.
Paul’s sister Jean, in defiance of her cancer, started to raise money in her brother’s memory. She died just nine months later.
