Between 60 70 children in Northern Ireland are diagnosed with cancer each year. Every one of them will visit the Childrens Cancer Unit throughout their journey, as it is the only place in Northern Ireland where children can receive specialist treatment for cancer.

Here, children affected by cancer and blood disorders are treated and cared for by a team of experienced and devoted medical professionals and staff.

The Childrens Cancer Unit is part of a global network which facilitates crucial clinical trials with the objective of improving survival rates, and the quality of that survival, for children affected by these dreadful disorders.The mission statement of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology is No child should die of Cancer, a vision that the Childrens Cancer Unit in Belfast embraces. 

Since its foundation, The Childrens Cancer Unit Charity has been committed to providing ongoing support to the Unit, its staff and the families who are treated there.
