Every day in the UK, 10 families are given the devastating news that their child has cancer. Of those 10, two will not survive. Children with Cancer UK funds research into the causes of childhood cancers and the development of kinder, less toxic treatments. They support young people and their families through treatment and life beyond cancer. Their vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer.

Amar Naher, CEO of Children with Cancer UK said

We are thrilled to be hosting Children with Cancer UK’s very first Christmas concert in Bristol, and to bring everyone together for a night of festive music and charity. We hope the local community will join us for a heartwarming evening of Christmas carols. Let’s come together to spread joy, celebrate the season and support children and their families going through the unimaginable this Christmas.

We are very excited to be holding our first ever Christmas concert together with Children with Cancer UK. Our partnership spans over 25 years and we are delighted to be working together once again to raise money for the brave young oncology patients who are treated at Bristol Children’s Hospital.
