Cancer


The Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for ChildrenThe Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children exists to provide immediate and practical help to local children living with cancer and their families at a time of enormous stress. We operate a number of services that help the whole family enjoy their precious time together and help ease the emotional difficulties that cancer can bring.

Our services cost just under £1million to run each year and we rely on donations from both the business sector and the general public. We are very proud that our administration costs are low and all the money we raise is spent in Northern Ireland on children with cancer and their families.

For more information, please contact lindsay@nicfc.com  or phone 028 90805599

Clatterbridge Cancer CampaignHelp fund a future without cancer
Cancer affects everyone. One person in three will suffer from the disease. Clatterbridge Cancer Campaign is fighting for a future free from Cancer.

The money we are raising in the campaign goes to help several areas of work, which will enable more people to recover from cancer. For instance, we are researching ways in which to identify exactly which genes are involved in particular cancers so that drugs can be more effectively used. Current research focuses on cancers of the breast and brain. The Centre for Oncology is one of the largest specialist cancer centres in the United Kingdom, providing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments to a population of approximately 2.3 million in the North West and Isle of Man, and more than 8,000 new patients are seen every year.

Clatterbridge Cancer Campaign supports the Clinical Trials of new treatments designed to be more comfortable as well as to be more effective, and raises funds for creating the best possible environment for patients and visitors at the Centre and its grounds.
