Fundraise for Candlelighters
Your fundraising makes support for children and young people with cancer possible.
Every year, 150 children in Yorkshire are diagnosed with cancer, turning life upside down for them and their families. They need emotional, practical, and financial support and it's your fundraising that makes that possible.
Candlelighters receive no government funding and relies entirely on fundraisers like you to provide hospital support, financial grants, respite holidays, and research. Join our amazing community of fundraisers to ensure no family faces childhood cancer alone.
