Be Child Cancer Aware (BCCA) is now known as Beads of Courage UK (BOCuk)
Our charity registration numbers are still the same. We are still the home of the original childhood cancer signs and symptoms awareness card and I-Phone application, and the Beads of Courage UK programme

Pioneering Childhood Cancer Awareness in the UK
Be Child Cancer Aware was the first UK charity to create and distribute an awareness card highlighting the most common signs and symptoms of childhood cancer.
We also led the way by developing a free iPhone app featuring the same vital information—making it even easier for parents, carers, and healthcare professionals to spot warning signs early.
Thanks to these initiatives, some children have received earlier diagnoses, significantly improving their chances of recovery. Early diagnosis saves lives.
Ben is one of those children.
