Donate to Children with Cancer UK and Save on Selected Brands

During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, we would appreciate your support in raising money for the charity Children with Cancer UK. Sadly, thousands of children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK every year. But despite a wealth of research, it’s still uncertain what causes the disease in children.

Children with Cancer UK has funded over 300 research projects into childhood cancer while also supporting families affected by the disease daily. Savoo will donate a percentage of retail revenue from organic sales generated between September 1st and 30th on selected brands to Children with Cancer UK.

Support Children with Cancer UK with Savoo

Around 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. Childhood cancer profoundly impacts not only young patients but also their families and communities. But it’s the emotional toll on children that is most damaging as they often experience painful treatments and long hospital stays. Visionary research funded by Children with Cancer UK is vital because it drives the development of more effective and less invasive treatments. Childhood cancers are different from those in adults and require tailored research to understand their unique biological profile.

Thanks to investment in research and treatment, survival has increased dramatically, but the battle is far from over. Savoo is delighted to support Children with Cancer UK throughout Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and you can get involved by redeeming a qualifying deal on Savoo to trigger a donation to the charity.



What is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?

The importance of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month cannot be overstated. Every year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer, with many childhood strains having poor prognoses. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is observed every September to highlight the brave youngsters battling the disease, along with the researchers and healthcare professionals striving for cures and new treatments. The month-long event's roots date back to 1990 when advocacy groups and medical communities banded together to increase public awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research.

Since then, the gold ribbon has become a universal symbol of solidarity and support for children fighting cancer, symbolising the preciousness of young lives. Every September, individuals, schools, companies, organisations and community groups across the UK and Ireland join the fight for a healthier future.

Supporting Childhood Cancer Awareness Month can take many forms. From participating in local events such as charity runs or awareness walks to showing solidarity by raising funds, every effort, big or small, contributes to the collective mission of conquering childhood cancer. Additionally, sharing information on social media platforms helps spread awareness, breaking the stigma and rallying community support. Why not support Children with Cancer UK in their fundraising efforts during September and beyond? Every penny makes a real difference!


About Children with Cancer UK

Children with Cancer UK was founded in 1988 by Eddie and Marion O’Gorman, following the tragic loss of their two children, Paul and Jean, to cancer within a short span of time. Devastated by their loss, the O’Gormans were driven to create a charity that would support research into the causes, prevention, and treatment of childhood cancers. With initial support from Diana, Princess of Wales, who became the charity’s first patron, Children with Cancer UK quickly became a leading organisation dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer.

Today, Children with Cancer UK continues to honour its founding mission by focusing on several key areas. The charity channels a significant portion of its donations into funding pioneering research to understand why children develop cancer, find less harmful treatments, and ultimately discover cures. They support various research projects across the UK, from laboratory studies exploring cancer's genetic and environmental causes to clinical trials that test innovative treatments.

While the charity is vital in advancing scientific knowledge and improving the outcomes for young cancer patients, Children with Cancer UK also dedicates its resources to supporting families and raising awareness. A childhood cancer diagnosis presents families with many emotional and practical challenges. From financial assistance to counselling, millions have been spent on family accommodation, financial support grants and more. Additionally, the charity works tirelessly to raise public awareness and advocate for better care and support systems for kids with cancer.
