    Situation

    It is a little-known fact that childhood cancer receives less funding in the UK than any other type of cancer. While this is mainly due to its relative rarity in comparison to adult cancers, the lasting effects of cancer treatments have a far greater impact on a child’s growing body. Kinder, gentler, and more effective treatments are desperately needed for children, many of whom are currently being treated with the same harsh cancer drugs as adults.

    Solution

    Each year, charity funds permitting, we issue a grant call to research and medical institutions across the UK to apply for funding. The research projects that we help to get off the ground can lead to critical breakthroughs in our global understanding of childhood cancer and a step change in the way children with cancer are diagnosed and treated. Our funds give researchers one to two years of preliminary data in order to attract larger scale funding from other institutions.
