How We Support
We are a children’s cancer charity supporting families through every stage of their child’s treatment, and advocating for every child in the UK to have access to the best possible care and treatment.
We support children from birth to 15, working alongside leading clinicians, researchers and hospitals to improve outcomes for children with cancer.
Families are at the heart of everything we do. All our support is co-developed with our Family Development Group, made up of families who have been through different stages and treatment pathways of childhood cancer themselves.
Children’s Treatments
21 children funded
Delivered in partnership with children’s hospital charities across the UK, Treatment Pathway Grants fund families directly, giving them the means to access compassionate and off-label treatments — including treatment abroad — that aren’t routinely funded by the NHS. Identified by paediatric oncology consultants, these grants may offer children additional options when standard therapies have been exhausted.
The Family Support App
UK first
The UK’s first dedicated childhood cancer family support app. It provides trusted information tailored to every stage of a family’s journey, so no family feels alone or unsure where to turn.
It also offers therapeutic wellbeing support, alongside specialist guidance on treatment pathways, including off-label treatments, clinical trials, and cross-border treatment options where appropriate. Expert advice and emotional support, together in one place.
Research funding
7 PhDs, 4 universities
Every project we fund is focused on improving early diagnosis or discovering earlier, more effective treatments for childhood cancers. Our mission is to ensure children not only have access to the best support today, but also benefit from the breakthroughs that will transform outcomes in the future.
