CLIC Sargent caring for children with cancer
Flair II’s voyage will be raising funds for CLIC Sargent
CLIC (Cancer and Leukaemia in Children) and Sargent Cancer Care for Children merged in January 2005 to become the UK's leading children's cancer charity. Both have a rich history of excellent care and support.
Together, CLIC Sargent is both stronger and more effective, providing more for more children and young people with cancer and their families.
The Vision
CLIC Sargent wants to see a world where all children and young people with cancer live life to the full.
The Mission
CLIC Sargent will be there for each family, caring every step of the way, providing individual support to children and young people with cancer and leukaemia and their families through:
- Clinical, psychosocial, emotional and financial services in hospital, at home and in the community across the UK
- Being a strong voice nationally and locally
- Research into improving treatment and care
The care and treatment of children with cancer has come a long way and today, 7 out of 10 children and young people diagnosed, will survive.
CLIC Sargent is committed to improving this figure still further through its specialist care and by funding both clinical and social research projects.
Two facts remain the same, however, and must not be ignored:
- Cancer is still the largest killer disease in young children
- The survivors of childhood cancer face major challenges of on-going side effects and discrimination. They still need our support.
