Special events and community adminstrator at Children with Cancer UK - London, N/A, UK
When parents are told the worst news that their child has cancer, Children with Cancer UK are there to help keep families together. We liberate visionary researchers and accelerate breakthroughs, so more children can ring the end of treatment bell. Over the past 30 years we have raised over £230 million to fight the injustice of cancer in children. We have helped fund four research centres of excellence in the UK and over 200 research projects, including the development of a Minimal Residual Disease Test which is now part of the standard NHS treatment for all young acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients. We have helped to drive childhood cancer survival rates up from 63.7% in 1990 to a predicted 84% in 2017.* With your help, one day we will achieve our vision of a world where no child dies of cancer. Every day our work helps more children ring their end of treatment bell.* Survival rates are based on 5-year survival. The 84% figure for 2017 is an estimated figure by the Office for National Statistics, exact figures will be known in 2023.Registered Charity Number: 298405
