How we fund research
We fund research that improves the treatment, care and support for children and young people with cancer.
What is a Special Named Fund?
Creating a fund in their name is a meaningful way to make a difference, without the need to set up your own charity.
The funds you raise go directly to the area of our work you choose, whether it’s pioneering research into a specific cancer, early diagnosis initiatives, or other areas of our vital work. It’s straightforward, we’ll be with you every step of the way, and you’ll be helping create a brighter future for children and young people with cancer.
Having a fund allows you to fundraise in your own way, at your own pace, whilst also trusting CCLG to ensure all donations go to your chosen area of support.
We don’t expect you to fund an entire research project yourself, and where necessary, we will combine gifts raised by other Special Named Funds and general charitable donations. This is to make sure the funds are used to support the research area you have chosen as soon as possible.

"We are so proud of what we have achieved over the last few years. It has not always been easy, sometimes very hard and upsetting, but what has given us both strength is the massive support in our home town of Barrow-in-Furness. Not only are Team Jake helping to support CCLG in finding a cure for this disease, but they are ensuring that Jake's memory continues to shine."Jo-Ann and Nick, who set up Team Jake in their son's memory
