CCLG Special Named Funds

Our Special Named Funds empower families to build a supportive community in honour of children and young people affected by cancer.

What is a Special Named Fund?

Our Special Named Funds are a way for families to honour a child or young person affected by cancer, and to raise funds in their name. They are a positive way for families, friends and the local community to come together and make a difference.

Funds raised will go towards your chosen area of our work such as research into a specific type of cancer, patient information or our general work helping all children diagnosed with cancer.

Having a fund allows you to fundraise in your own way, at your own pace, whilst also trusting CCLG to ensure all donations go to your chosen area of support.

Set up your Special Named Fund

You can see all of our funds on our dedicated Special Named Funds website. Here you can set up your own fund, find another fund, or donate directly to a fund. If you'd like to speak to a member of the team before setting one up, don't hesitate to get in touch at specialnamedfunds@cclg.org.uk

"We are so proud of what we have achieved over the last few years. It has not always been easy, sometimes very hard and upsetting, but what has given us both strength is the massive support in our home town of Barrow-in-Furness. Not only are Team Jake helping to support CCLG in finding a cure for this disease, but they are ensuring that Jake's memory continues to shine."
