MISSION STATEMENT
Our Mission is to provide information in order to raise awareness of Cancer in Children, Teenagers and Young Adults through the Be Child Cancer Aware campaign.
Cancer in Children and Young People is more common than you think. There is a severe lack of awareness and young lives are being lost due to late diagnosis.
We aim to change that and the fact that you are reading this website means that already you are better informed about the Cancers that affect our Children, Teenagers and Young Adults.
OUR AIMS
1) To raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the cancers that affect children, teenagers and young adults amongst parents and young people.
2) To provide information about organisations who provide support to families of children, teenagers and young adults diagnosed with cancer.
3) To petition UK Government to ensure that all GP’s are aware of the Child Cancer Referral guidelines contained in the NICE Guidelines page 42 onwards in order to gain an earlier diagnosis for children, teenagers and young adults in the future.
4) To assist other organisations who campaign for more funding for alternative treatments and therapies not available in the UK.
By working together we really can make a difference to outcomes for children and young people diagnosed with cancer in the future. We can also offer information and support to those who are newly diagnosed and those going through treatment and bravely fighting cancer now
So please Be Child Cancer Aware!
