How your high-value gift can help
The Candlelighters Supportive Care Research Centre
An opportunity to save lives, reduce suffering, and bring hope. Partner to fund a world-first research centre looking at better management of side effects from cancer treatment for children.
Front-line hospital support
Fund roles and resources families need from the moment they arrive at hospital, having had their lives turned upside down. From dedicated support workers providing comfort to food and activities for children and families.
Holistic support and wellbeing
Our family support centre is a vital hub of bespoke support services. Help maintain a safe haven for families touched by childhood cancer across Yorkshire, sustaining access to support and a community that understands.
Accommodation
Children from across the region must often travel to Leeds to receive life-saving treatment for cancer. Help keep their families together, by supporting our accommodation close to Leeds Children’s Hospital.
Financial support
Families of children with cancer face an additional £700 of household costs each month, on average. You can help give them some peace of mind by funding financial support including new patient grants, crisis grants and compassionate grants.
Respite holidays
Fully-funded holidays allow patients and their families to have an emotional, mental, and physical break from the day-to-day of living with cancer. Your support can help families make precious, happy memories when they are most needed.
Club Candlelighters is our multi-year pledge program to support children with cancer and their families. As a member, you’ll play a vital role in protecting, improving and expanding our support services. Club Candlelighters members join for three years at a time, committing to donate a set amount and providing security of our services to families.
You can help us do more
As well as creating change by funding vital services and research, some donors may also have skills and influence that could create an even greater impact for children and young people with cancer. By working together, we can uncover more ways to support children and families in need.
