What we do
Every day we strive to increase awareness and understanding of cancer in children and young people.
Every child should have their whole life ahead of them, but cancer is still one of the biggest causes of death in young people under the age of 15.
Finding new ways to identify cancer in children and young people, and better, kinder treatment means more children will survive without the life-inhibiting side effects that can often come with remission.
We fund research
We’ve funded over 300 research projects leading to the development of better, kinder treatments and significantly contributing to survival rates which we’ve seen improve from 67% to 85.2%*
We support families
From days out to special events, we work with trusted and experienced partners to ensure families have the emotional and financial support they need, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their child and reconnecting as a family.
We raise awareness
We shine a spotlight on childhood cancer to improve outcomes for thousands of children and young people across the UK. Thanks to our network of experts, we can educate families, the public and the scientific community.
