Young Lives vs Cancer
We’re proud to be partnered with Young Lives vs Cancer, the UK's leading charity for children and young people with cancer, and their families.
Working together since October 2014, we’ve raised over £1.5million to date – and we’re not stopping there. Today, 12 more children and young people will hear the devastating news they have cancer. Young Lives vs Cancer’s specialist social workers play a crucial role in making sure the right care and support is received from the moment of diagnosis. Help us continue to raise vital funds and shop for the cause.

Children and young people with cancer deserve better. Together, we will make change happen.
Our support helps Young Lives vs Cancer provide their vital services for young cancer patients and their families. Please join the challenge and make every minute count!
Virtual events Challenge
About the Challenge
Join thousands of others taking in our Virtual events, whether you want to test your skills with a Keepy Uppy Challenge or take part in 10,000 steps a day. With Young Lives vs Cancer’s virtual challenges there is always something to get involved with.
But your support changes everything.
It means the whole family can stay in one of Young Lives vs Cancer’s welcoming Homes from Home’s, close to specialist childhood cancer treatment centres. For families, it’s more than a free place to stay, it’s a place that feels like home. It’s having the time for a home cooked meal together or sharing a mug of hot chocolate with a bedtime story. Most of all, when everything else is uncertain, it’s the chance to simply be together.
Cancer doesn’t have to mean families are torn apart. That special moments are lost.

Barney’s Story
After feeling unwell for months, Barney was diagnosed with asthma, but a scan in January 2024 revealed a tumour in his lung. He needed surgery to remove the lung and faced long hospital stays away from his brother. Young Lives vs Cancer Specialist Social Worker Sarah supported the family with practical help and school reintegration. Barney’s mum said, “She called the school, provided information packs, and made sure they were prepared. She’s been brilliant.”
Nancy’s Story
At just one year old, Nancy was diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 2023 and needed two surgeries and chemotherapy. Her mum gave up work to stay in hospital, leaving the family struggling financially. Their Young Lives vs Cancer social worker helped with grants and emotional support. Nancy’s mum said, “I honestly can’t think of what it would be like without Young Lives vs Cancer. They’ve been a godsend.”
Barney and Nancy recently received Bruno, our Young Lives vs Cancer plush puppy. For every £9.99 Bruno sold in our stores, we donate £3 to help raise vital funds for Young Lives vs Cancer.
