Children with Cancer

 
CHILDREN with CANCER UK, formerly CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA, is the leading national charity dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer. We fund a broad variety of work, all aimed at alleviating the enormous suffering caused by childhood cancers. We fund life-saving research into the causes, prevention and treatment of childhood cancer and work to protect young lives through essential welfare and campaigning programmes.
 Research funded by CHILDREN with CANCER UK has already led directly to an increase in the survival rate for childhood leukaemia, as well as enabling some children to escape some of the punishing side-effects associated with current treatments.  Our research into the causes of leukaemia and other childhood cancers not only feeds into the development of better treatments but may enable us to establish preventative strategies. 
While research is the key to protecting future generations, the charity also remembers that there are children suffering today by supporting a number of community based initiatives, including children’s hospices and other organisations that support families outside the hospital setting.
With administration costs kept to a minimum, you can be sure that when you support CHILDREN with CANCER UK, your money will be put to good use immediately in the fight to save young lives.
