A powerful documentary film about children with cancer. Narrated by the kids themselves. Kids Like Us is available no on Sky and NOW TV.

New film highlights the vital role of a scientist in finding kinder treatments for childhood cancer.

We are thrilled to announce that the headline act at our Children with Cancer UK Fundraising Gala sponsored by MFS, taking place on Wednesday 27 November 2024, is none other than multi-award winning, chart-topper Olly Murs.

Children with Cancer UK was honoured to sponsor Children with Cancer UK’s Raines Repurposed at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024, designed by Thomas Clarke.

We are developing a beautiful holiday retreat for families who desperately need the break and the chance to make precious, happy memories. We are inviting you to join our focus group.

On 24 December 2023, we invited 15 families to see the incredible Disney on Ice at the O2 Arena. Generously donated by AEG, families affected by childhood cancer were able to immerse themselves in Disney’s 100 Years of Wonder performance from private suites that provided them with a VIP experience.

Leading charities Children with Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK will co-fund a major £5.5 million research programme to advance precision medicine for children and young people whose cancer has returned.

A young cancer patient from Birmingham is supporting a brand new campaign to help raise awareness during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September. The charity’s new ‘give a hug’ campaign highlights the importance of this simple gesture. Whether it’s from friends or family, a big squeeze or a small cuddle, the charity’s moving campaign film shows how this wordless gesture can say so much.

Our #Milestones film follows Billy and Demi – two childhood cancer survivors and their families, on a journey of precious highs, painful lows – and all the moments in between that became so meaningful. Because for children with cancer, every single moment is a milestone.

Children and young people living with cancer from across the West Midlands, Oxfordshire and parts of Southern England will now benefit from improved genetic testing, thanks to a seven-figure donation to Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity from Children with Cancer UK, in partnership with Kwik-Fit.

We’re funding new research, led by Professor Tariq Enver, a world leader in the field of leukaemia.

Current treatments for children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are highly toxic meaning children may  suffer long term side effects.

This project aims to develop more targeted and less toxic therapies which will reduce the toxic effects on the rest of the body.
