It notes that about one child a week is diagnosed in the UK and that although 98% survive, around half lose an eye and some lose their sight. It gives lifelong support to children, families and adults who had retinoblastoma as children, including support grants and face to face sessions, raises awareness of signs such as a white glow in the eye or a squint, and funds research. Its registered address is at the Royal London Hospital. The Charity Commission register records latest income of about £0.7 million for the year ending 31 March 2026.","asOf":"2026-11-04","links":[{"label":"About the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust","url":"https://chect.org.uk/about-us/"},{"label":"Charity Commission register entry","url":"https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/327493"}],"tags":["uk","patient-org"],"related":[],"cancers":["retinoblastoma"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["barts-cancer-institute"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"London","country":"GB","lat":51.518,"lng":-0.059,"institutionType":"consortium","website":"https://chect.org.uk","programs":["Lifelong support for families and adults","Support grants","Awareness of signs and symptoms","Research funding"]},"route":"/institutions/childhood-eye-cancer-trust/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"retinoblastoma","kind":"cancer","name":"Retinoblastoma","route":"/cancers/retinoblastoma/"}],"institution":[{"id":"barts-cancer-institute","kind":"institution","name":"Barts Cancer Institute / Barts Health NHS Trust","route":"/institutions/barts-cancer-institute/"}]}}
