CCLG, along with many other children's cancer charities, marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) each year in September. While we work to raise awareness of childhood cancer all year round, during September we focus on increasing awareness of cancer in children, as well as the work we do to support children with cancer and their families.
Stronger together
Children, young people and families play a vital role in shaping the future of childhood cancer research and care.
This year we're celebrating how the voices of those with lived experience can make a difference to childhood cancer research, support, and policy. This collaboration helps make sure that our work focuses on what really matters to the people it’s meant to help, like patients and their families.
We are proud to work alongside an incredible community of parents, survivors and family members who share their experiences, perspectives and expertise. Their voices help us better understand what could have made a difference during their cancer experience, from access to clear, easy-to-understand information to the challenges families face every day.
By bringing together lived experience and scientific expertise, we can make research more relevant, improve support for families and help shape better outcomes for children and young people with cancer.
Together we are stronger. Together we have purpose. Together we lead the way for breakthroughs.
