Help raise awareness
CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading support charity for children and young people with cancer and their families. Our social workers, nurses and other frontline staff work tirelessly to limit the damage cancer causes to young lives beyond their health.
Last year our teams in Yorkshire and Humber supported 565 children and young people and awarded £99,806 in financial grants that helped families cope with the extra costs a cancer diagnosis brings. Our Cancer Costs research has shown that on average families with a child going through active treatment spend an extra £600 a month. This isn’t right and it isn’t fair.

Hide AdCLIC Sargent is now in the running to win a charity partnership with the supermarket Morrisons, worth up to £7 million. If we win, we’ll be able to double the number of financial grants we give to families in need, increase specialist nursing support for young patients, and transform our services.
This January we urge Morrisons employees to join team CLIC Sargent in our fight for young lives against cancer by voting for us to become their new charity partner. If you are a friend, family member or loved one of a Morrisons employee, please do help us raise awareness, and encourage them to back our cause. Visit www.clicsargent.org.uk/morrisons for details.
