How we make a difference
We fund research
We fund life-saving research to improve our understanding of childhood cancer and to find kinder, more effective treatments.
We support families
From days out to special events, we provide emotional and financial support to families when they need it.
We raise awareness
We shine a spotlight on childhood cancer to improve outcomes for children and young people across the UK.
We make everything for children, except cancer treatment
As of 2026, many children are still treated with drugs developed for adult bodies. The damage these drugs leave behind – stunted growth, heart damage, infertility, cognitive difficulties – can last a lifetime.
2% of funding
Approximately 2% of cancer research funding is dedicated to child and young person cancer.
10 children
Are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. Two will be terminal.
Side effects
Of those who survive, more than half will have to live with side effects.
Real children. Real cancer stories
Kaiden’s story
When Kaiden, an energetic seven year old started suffering headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and couldn’t face his beloved forest school, his mum knew something was wrong.
“I have huge hopes that one day in the future, children like Kaiden can have much kinder cancer treatments. That they don’t have to suffer in the way that Kaiden has, relentlessly, for nearly four years.”
Kathryn, Kaiden’s mum
Tia’s story
When Tia, a bright four year old who loved sports, science and cooking, became tired, withdrawn and in pain, her mum Shaima knew something wasn’t right. It was the start of a journey no family should have to face.
“Adult cancer drugs are too big for children. We must find childhood cancer treatments that fit. No child should have to face the lifelong effects Tia lives with because treatments weren’t made for them.”
Shaima, Tia’s mum
