The Children with Cancer UK Fundraising Charity Gala

Olly Murs

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. Olly rose to fame after taking part in the TV show X-Factor in 2009 and has had five number one albums and four number one singles – including huge hits ‘Troublemaker’, ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ and ‘Heart Skips A Beat’. Olly has previously supported the charity by surprising his fans Seb and Dulcie with personal messages during our ‘Heroes Against Cancer’ campaign. Olly regularly sells out UK arenas so this is an exceptionally rare chance to see him perform in an intimate venue.

Our history

When the O’Gorman family tragically lost two of their children to cancer, it launched a mission that we continue with to this day: to see a world where every child and young person survives cancer. As one of Britain’s leading charities devoted to research into the causes of and treatments for childhood cancers, our work has invested millions that has greatly improved the outcomes of the 4,200 children and young people a year who will face a cancer diagnosis.

Join us and help us to honour this legacy and keep doing this vital work.

The 2022 Gala

On 12 November 2022, we held the annual Children with Cancer UK Ball. Hosted by Gaby Roslin and headlined by Lulu, Bananarama and Tony Hadley. We were also joined Dynamo the magician and DJ Brandon Block. A massive thanks to our sponsors Market Financial Solutions and all the guests that joined us for an amazing night of fundraising. The Ball raised over £700,000.
