Children with Cancer UK is the leading national children's charity dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer.

Almost 4,000 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK. Its aims are to determine the causes, find cures and provide care for children with cancer.

The strapline for Children with Cancer UK is ‘fighting the UK’s biggest child killer’. Sadly cancer is still the most common medical cause of death beyond infancy in children and young people in the UK.

When Children with Cancer UK refers to a ‘child’ we use the definitions from the Office of National Statistics - meaning children aged from 1 to 15.
