The Children’s Cancer Research Fund supports life-changing and life-saving research with the aim of helping children with cancer survive and thrive.
Fifty years ago, 75% of children diagnosed with cancer died. Today, thanks to research, more than 8 in 10 survive, but many childhood cancers still have a poor outlook with harsh, unpleasant treatments that can have long-lasting, detrimental implications.
The Children’s Cancer Research Fund specifically funds the early stages of cancer research, which aim to uncover the first steps of groundbreaking treatments. Without our initial investment, many innovative research ideas that could improve the treatment and prognosis for children with cancer are left undiscovered.
Since 1991, we have funnelled almost £3 million into 28 research projects. Our beneficiaries are the 1,900 children in the UK diagnosed with cancer each year, 253 of whom tragically die from the disease. Globally, around 100,000 children die each year.
Previous research projects have gone on to receive significant six-figure funding from Cancer Research UK, the Bone Cancer Research Trust and the Department for Health. To obtain this funding, researchers had to evidence the value of their ideas, and that crucial evidence was only possible because we invested in their initial research idea.
The Children’s Cancer Research Fund exists thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors. By leaving a gift in your Will, you will directly increase the vital research projects we can fund and give children with cancer the chance of a brighter, healthier future.
