Children with Cancer UK is the leading children’s cancer charity in the UK. Join us in building a future where every child survives cancer and thrives.

Every day, 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Two will not survive, and many survivors face lifelong side effects. Our aim is to determine the causes, find cures and provide care, with a united goal to save and improve young lives.

Help us make a difference.

Research is vital

We receive no government funding and rely exclusively on the generosity of our supporters. For over 35 years, we’ve been funding lifesaving childhood cancer research and supporting children with cancer and their families. With your help we’ve raised over £300 million, which has funded over 300 pioneering research projects and many other vital services for young cancer patients. We won’t stop until every child survives.

Our impact and success

Who you’re helping

Read first-hand accounts from families affected by childhood cancer. It’s hard to imagine what it must feel like being told your child has cancer. This is the sad reality for 4,500 families in the UK every single year. Hear from some of these families as they deal with the devastating impacts of childhood cancer.
