Solving Kids' Cancer UK

Who we are

Solving Kids' Cancer UK is a small but mighty charity with children firmly at its heart. We are fighting for a future where no child dies of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma or suffers due to the treatment they receive.

Neuroblastoma is a rare and complex childhood cancer, around 90% of neuroblastoma cases occur in children younger than 5 years of age. It is the most common cancer in infants. The work of Solving Kids’ Cancer UK is parent informed and we develop our services in response to the needs of the community we work with.

Our organisation is passionate about speeding up pioneering clinical research that will save lives and improve outcomes for children. As a parent-led charity we are uniquely placed to use our influence and reputation alongside our accredited research funding framework to make a difference for children now and in the future.

Our Family Support Service provides emotional and practical support, impartial nformation on the latest treatments available and supports families to access their choice of treatment options for their child.

We are a voice for children and their families. In every conversation we amplify their voice and ensure children are at the heart of all we do. We will not stop until children with neuroblastoma, in the UK and beyond, have access to the treatment they need and we need the very best people to help deliver our vision
