The entire world is currently facing a period of uncertainty due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, what does remain certain is that 12 children and young people will continue to be diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK.
Please donate today to support children with cancer through these uncertain times.
If your child has cancer, or has had cancer in the past, you might be worried about how coronavirus (COVID-19) affects your child and the rest of your family. The most important thing is to follow the advice of your child’s healthcare team and the NHS.
In the midst of the pandemic, life-saving research into brain tumours still desperately need funding. Sign now if you believe in a future where we can tackle childhood brain tumours.
We’re raising £200,000 for the Beads of Courage UK oncology programme to support children, like Ted, who go through difficult treatment journeys.
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.

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.

Our journey started with a promise to a dying boy. 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.
