Research

We carry out and support research into issues that affect children and young people with cancer and their families. This informs our campaigning work, ensuring the experiences of children and young people are at the heart of everything we do, and helps us make change happen.

Our latest research – Cancer Costs

Our latest piece of research explores the whole financial impact of a cancer diagnosis on children and young people with cancer and their families.

Research we support

As well as carrying out our own research, we also support projects that seek to understand and address the impact cancer diagnoses have on children, young people and their families.

We don’t fund research. We do support in several other ways though, including:

  • Sharing research opportunities with the young people and families we support
  • Offering information and guidance on conducting research with young cancer patients and their families

Our processes for supporting external research are currently under review so we’re not taking on any new projects at this time.
