Very excited at Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG) today to launch, along with our amazing charity partners Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Young Lives vs Cancer, and Teenage Cancer Trust, our North Star Vision for the sector and the system.
Our organisations work with children and young people with cancer every day. We see the huge and lasting emotional, physical and financial devastation cancer often has. Supporting them through this experience is a societal challenge that demands a collective approach, which puts children and young people with cancer and their wellbeing at the centre and shines a spotlight on the complex systems of care, information and support that operate around them.
Our innovative research, with Dartington Service Design Lab, has created a shared, evidence-based understanding of what is needed to build a better future for children and young people with cancer and their families, and enabled us to create our North Star Vision. A big and ambitious vision where:
Every child and young person facing cancer receives care that’s tailored to them. They feel informed and in control, and along with their families can make knowledgeable decisions about their care and future. They feel empowered every step of the way, facing no gaps in support or barriers to access. They have everything they need from the beginning of their cancer journey, during treatment and for as long as they need it afterwards.

Change is needed, and the time to get started is now. Impactful and lasting change will take time, but together we'll make it happen.
We’ve joined forces to change the future of cancer care with our North Star vision ?? This is transformational, vital change. Change that will support the unique needs of children and young people with cancer.
