A group of doctors are having a discussion whilst sitting around a table.

What we do

We are CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association, a charity dedicated to creating a brighter future for children and young people with cancer. Powered by expertise, we unite the children and young people’s cancer community, driving collective action and progress.

Our leadership and expertise stretches across the UK. We bring the cancer community together. Pulling together to find treatments, better care and cures for children and young people’s cancer.  We believe that no one charity, hospital or specialist has all the answers.

But together we can find them. Together we are stronger. Together we have purpose. Together we lead the way for breakthroughs.

What we care about is progress, and progress comes when we all work together. We look beyond our own organisation. We focus on cancer. We focus on children and young people. We focus on progress.

We’re powered by 3 words: Expertise. Progress. Community.
