The North of England Children’s Cancer Research Fund is a North East children’s charity formed in 1979 by a small group of parents whose lives had been changed forever by childhood cancer. Some parents had lost children, while others were grateful that their children had overcome the disease.
Over the past 30 years the NECCR has helped fund research that has established the North East as one of the world leaders in the research of childhood cancer. To date the charity has raised over £30 million.
‘Cancer is the number one cause of non-accidental death in young children in the UK. The North of England Children’s Cancer Research Fund strives to raise money to directly fund research into the causes and treatment of this terrible disease.’ – Chris Peacock, NECCR Chairman
Our charity needs your help to continue this work, and to help more children beat cancer and live long and happy lives. You can get involved by making a donation, fundraising for the charity or by attending one of our events.
