Every contribution is carefully allocated to fund critical research, provide essential resources to families, and drive greater awareness.

Cancer diagnoses

Every day, around 10 children and young people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer.

New treatments

8 out of 10 young cancer patients can now receive successful treatment, thanks to the specialist research we help fund.

Safer therapies

We are committed to developing safer and more effective childhood cancer treatments with fewer toxic side effects.

Funding research

We invest in crucial childhood cancer research that would otherwise go unfunded.
