If I donate, where is the money going?
Donations will go to the leading national children’s charity ‘Children with Cancer UK‘. They are to the fight against childhood cancer. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the charity lost 40% of its funding in 2020. Your donation today will help give the gift of hope to children facing cancer. As well as helping to secure the future of the charity’s life-saving research.
