For over 45 years, your kind support has brought hope to families affected by childhood cancer by ensuring they didn’t face a difficult Christmas alone.

Because of you, we could provide those families with the emotional, practical and financial support they needed to get through Christmas and together, we made sure they still had some festive magic in the hardest of times.

This Christmas, your support will ensure families facing childhood cancer continue to receive the support they need.

For children and families in hospital, we can bring the magic of Christmas to them. Your support will ensure children staying in hospital over Christmas this year are treated to many magical surprises to enjoy the big day, as well as making sure the many other children currently being treated for cancer, and those who will be diagnosed next year, are fully supported by Candlelighters through their journey.

There are lots of ways you can support families facing childhood cancer this year, and every bit of support you can give makes a difference. If you’re able to support Candlelighters with a donation, every pound you can afford could help bring these families some much-needed magic at Christmas.

£15 could pay for a Christmas Eve box for a child with cancer staying at the hospital, helping them feel they’re not missing out on the magic of Christmas.

£32 could pay for a Christmas Party place for a child with cancer, making their Christmas magical.

£100 could pay for a Christmas grant for a family, ensuring that Christmas is as special as possible for children on treatment and their siblings.

However you’re able to show your support this Christmas, know that, together, we can bring some light and Christmas magic to children with cancer in Yorkshire and their families.
