NECCR was formed in 1979 by a small group of parents whose lives had been changed forever by childhood cancer. Some parents had lost children, while others were grateful that their children had overcome the disease.
NECCR has a number of local branches, and the group holds regular meetings. New members are always welcome and if anyone would like to help in any way, please contact them at the address below or send an email to: [email protected]. The charity successfully supports a large amount of research in the North of England.
