Charity Partner

Our charity partner this year is Children’s cancer charity Clic Sargent. CLIC Sargent wants to see a world where all children and young people with cancer live life to the full.

Clic Sargent aim to be there for each family, caring every step of the way, providing individual support to children and young people with cancer and leukaemia and their families through:

• Clinical, psychosocial, emotional and financial services in hospital, at home and in the community across the UK
• Being a strong voice nationally and locally
• Research into improving treatment and care

The care and treatment of children with cancer has come a long way and today, 7 out of 10 children and young people diagnosed, will survive.

CLIC Sargent is committed to improving this figure still further through its specialist care and by funding both clinical and social research projects.Two facts remain the same, however, and must not be ignored:

• Cancer is still the largest killer disease in young children.
• The survivors of childhood cancer face major challenges of on-going side effects and discrimination. They still need our support.

Sargent Cancer Care for Children was founded in 1968 by Sylvia Darley OBE as a lasting memory to the late Sir Malcolm Sargent.
CLIC – Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood was founded in 1976, in the South West, by Bob Woodward, following the death of his young son to cancer.
