A London charity, founded in 1987 by the family of a boy who died of leukaemia, that funds childhood cancer research and supports families.
Children with Cancer UK began as Children with Leukaemia after Paul O'Gorman died of leukaemia aged 14 in February 1987 and his sister Jean died of breast cancer later that year; Diana, Princess of Wales inaugurated the charity in January 1988. Its story page says it raised the money for the first Paul O'Gorman research centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital by 1995 and co-funded parts of the trial behind minimal residual disease testing in childhood leukaemia, now used by the NHS. The register describes its main aims as understanding what causes children to develop cancer, developing better treatments and caring for affected families, with most of its charitable output made as research grants. The Charity Commission register records latest income of about £17.6 million for the year ending 31 December 2025.
