Bringing specialist cancer care to Evelina London

Cancer is every parent’s worst fear. A diagnosis turns a family’s world upside down. Children endure long hospital stays and gruelling treatments, often isolated from their loved ones. For parents and family members, it’s a frightening and stressful time.

When the centre opens, Evelina London will be able to extend their care to toddlers, children and young people with complex or rarer types of cancer from across south London and much of south east England. The centre will provide outstanding care and support research to develop better treatments for young patients with cancer.

Will you help support Evelina London’s ambition for children with cancer this Christmas?

This Christmas, you can make a difference

Your donation could help make the Principal Treatment Centre a reality. You can be part of building a specialist centre with compassion, innovation and expertise at its heart.

Designed with children and families in mind

With your support, the specialist centre is being designed around the needs of young patients and their loved ones. In a period of 16 months over 2025-26, the compassionate Evelina London team have spent more than 300 hours listening to children and families to understand what matters most when a child is receiving cancer treatment.

Here’s how their feedback will support Evelina London’s specialist cancer centre:

Curtains for glazed screens in treatment areas

Giving children and families privacy and comfort when they need it most.

Centralised nurse call points

Call points that are accessible from either side of the bed, making it easier for parents to call for assistance.

Access to kitchen facilities

With individual food lockers so parents and carers can spend more time with their child.

Movable TVs

Providing space for gaming consoles, helping young patients experience the comforting power of play.
