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 ways to treat them means more will survive without the life-inhibiting side effects that can often come with remission.

We support families

 

From ‘amazing days out’ to funding accommodation close to hospitals, we work with partners to ensure families have the emotional and financial support they need, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their child.
