On average 353 children, adolescents and young adults (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer every year in the Republic of Ireland. A diagnosis of childhood cancer has a devastating impact on the entire family.

Childhood Cancer Ireland is the national parent and survivor-led charity representing the voice of children and young people with cancer, survivors and their families.

As a parent and survivor-led charity, we understand that a diagnosis of childhood cancer has a devastating impact on the entire family. We help to ease the burden of diagnosis and treatment on children and their families by raising funds to provide practical and emotional supports.

We also advocate for better supports and services for families, as well as better treatments and outcomes for children, adolescents and young adults.
