Cancer Support UK

Cancer Support UK provides practical and emotional support to people living with cancer, both during and after the treatment period. We support people with all kinds of cancer across the UK.

Cancer Kits
Our Cancer Kits include a range of practical items for adults and children undergoing cancer treatment.

Cancer Kits have been designed by people who have had cancer themselves, to provide practical items that people will find genuinely useful during their treatment. We have Cancer Kits, Chemo Kits. Comfort Kits and Kids’ Kits, which we can supply free of charge to people living with cancer in the UK thanks to donor support.

Cuddles for Christmas and Easter
At Christmas and Easter we send out warmable teddies to children with cancer in hospitals or hospitals across the UK. Our sensory bears provide children with comfort when they need it most. A warm cuddle will help them through their treatment, which can be isolating and upsetting for these vulnerable children.

Cancer Coach
Our Cancer Coach groups are available to anyone who has completed their physical cancer treatment and is experiencing low mood, anxiety and worry, and doesn’t know how to move forward in their recovery.

The course takes participants through a series of weekly facilitated group sessions, over the telephone or online video. The sessions aim to help people by providing support and coping strategies. Our aim is to help people on their recovery journey, however long it takes.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.

What if I change my mind?
