Childhood Cancer Ireland

About us

Childhood Cancer Ireland is a charity founded by and led by parents of children with cancer and survivors. 

As a parent and survivor-led charity, we understand that a diagnosis of childhood cancer has a devastating impact on the entire family. We help to ease the burden of diagnosis and treatment on children and their families by raising funds to provide practical and emotional supports.

We also advocate for better supports and services for families, as well as better treatments and outcomes for children, adolescents and young adults. 

Our mission is to achieve health justice for all children diagnosed with cancer in Ireland.

We want to ensure that more children survive childhood cancer and thrive as adults through early diagnosis, access to less toxic treatments and a holistic approach to support for survivors and their families, who are dealing with the long-term effects.
