Children with Cancer UK

Established in 1987, by our Chairman Eddie O’Gorman, following his youngest son Paul O’Gorman passing away from Acute Lymphoid Leukaemia, ALL, Children with Cancer UK has gone on to become a leading force in paediatric oncology.

In the last 32 years we have raised a staggering £260m in the fight against childhood cancer. Over the years, working with the scientific community, we have made significant breakthroughs in the treatment of ALL, and have contributed to raising survival rates from 63% to 84%. Alongside this we have also invested in patient family accommodation and grants to families, in addition to supporting family days out and welfare programmes throughout the UK, helping children and their families to maintain as normal a life as possible during their treatment.

We are moving into a new phase of growth and are investing in our teams to expand our reach, grow our awareness and deliver greater income to ensure we can continue our fight against childhood cancer. Our leading pillar of work continues to be research into the cause, treatment and cure of this cruel disease, and we will not stop until every child survives.
