Formerly called | CLIC Sargent |
Young Lives vs Cancer, the operating name for "CLIC Sargent",[1] is a charity in the United Kingdom formed in 2005. Young Lives vs Cancer is the 12th largest cancer charity in the UK[2] with a focus on children, young people and their families. Its care teams provide specialist support across the UK.[3]
Young Lives vs Cancer supports people from diagnosis onwards and aims to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment and, in some cases, bereavement.
The charity also undertakes research into the impact of cancer on children and young people. It uses this evidence to raise awareness and to seek to influence government and policy-makers, and those who provide public services across the UK.
