Children with Cancer UK Annual Review 2010 Annual Report & Accounts 2010 CHILDREN with CANCER UK Registered Charity No. 298405. Formerly CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA UK. Inaugurated in 1988 by Diana, Princess of Wales Review of the year Foreword by the Chairman As anticipated, 2010 was another challenging year economically. However, despite these challenges, we achieved a modest increase in income and succeeded in funding innovative and important projects in our fight against childhood leukaemia and other childhood cancers. Over the past 23 years, what started as a small memorial charity has become a major force in paediatric oncology helping to drive the survival rate for childhood leukaemia above 80 per cent. Building on this success, in 2011 we have ceased to promote our working name of CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA and are known by our reporting name, CHILDREN with CANCER UK. We will continue to fund life-saving research into the causes, prevention and treatment of childhood leukaemia and other childhood cancers and will continue our work to protect young lives through essential welfare and campaigning programmes. We thank you for your interest in our work and hope that you will continue to work in partnership with us to achieve our aims. Eddie O’Gorman, OBE, Chairman of Trustees Since broadening our charitable objectives in 2007, we have funded some important projects relating to other types of childhood cancer. However, our primary focus has remained on leukaemia, the most common childhood cancer. Significant advances have been made in our understanding and treatment of childhood leukaemia but this progress has not necessarily been paralleled in other forms of childhood cancer. We hope that our increasing focus on other childhood cancers will stimulate new research and encourage more collaborative research work across the different types of childhood cancer. Ultimately, we hope that this will help many more children and save many more young lives. This time last year we set out our goals for 2010 and • £120,000 to support the establishment of the we now reflect on how we have performed against Children’s Cancer Trials Team at the University of each of them.

There are more than 50 Main types of childhood cancer different types of cancer affecting children, divided Children aged 0 - 14 years into 12 main groups. Great Britain 2001 to 2005 Leukaemia is the most common type of cancer to affect children, followed by brain and spinal tumours (or central nervous system CNS tumours). Together, leukaemia and CNS tumours account for more than half of all cancers diagnosed in children. Important progress has been made in the treatment of childhood cancer over the past few decades. In the late 1960s, almost three quarters of children diagnosed with cancer died. Today, more than three quarters of children diagnosed with cancer survive1. “It’s an enormous challenge but we have considerable support and are confident that we can make a real difference to the lives of children with cancer.” Improving the outlook for children with cancer Although there is a high overall survival rate for damage caused by treatments.

Research suggests that our ape-like ancestors boosted their brain size when they began to co-operate to hunt for food and shelter. Scientists said that the expanding intelligence of our ancestors in turn helped them better co-operate and take down larger prey, such as mammoths, that they could share with a bigger group.

    Downloaded from simongarfield.com © Simon Garfield 2005 Ant Always Stands on the Left Ant and Dec are always together on television. And in real life too. The Observer, May 2002 The most striking thing about Ant and Dec is not that you can't tell them apart, but that you can: apart from the light entertainment and children's shows that went before them, and apart from other people who made it famous and rich when they were young. Ant and Dec, both aged 26 (Ant is always on the left in photos), represent a new generation of TV hosts - not comedians (though occasionally they can be funny), not singers (though they used to do that all the time) and not really celebrities (slender tabloid interest, very polite when you meet them, only one uncharacteristic incident at a lap-dancing establishment) - but they can stand in front of a camera and talk to it as if it was a friend they used to know from school. To do this without artifice is a very valuable thing in television. You can twist yourself in knots trying to explain their achievement, but all you need to understand is that they used to climb trees and weren't the sort of people who liked to watch children's television with an educational flavour. Their appeal is embedded in a little-remembered programme, their first, that went out at teatime in 1996. The Ant and Dec Show on Children's BBC featured a novel item called Beat The Barber, a quiz in which young people could win fantastic prizes such as computer consoles.
