CLIC Sargent
Most children get coughs or colds, flu or viruses. But imagine being told: “it’s cancer”. Every day in the UK, 10 families hear this news.
Only one charity cares every step of the way: CLIC Sargent. CLIC Sargent is the only charity offering children with cancer and their families all round clinical, practical and emotional support and social care.
Today we can only help two out of three families who need us. That’s why we need you to run for us.
CLIC Sargent Nurses are specially trained children’s cancer nurses. They are at the heart of our work, and part of our specialist care teams across the UK. To support our nurses, we are encouraging CLIC Sargent runners to run dressed as a nurse on the day. You can support our theme as much or as little as you wish, but you will be sure to make an impact!
Run for CLIC Sargent and you will help fund not just nurses, but our whole range of services right across the UK.

The Fire Fighters Charity
Every year, thousands of fire fighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need, and assists over 13,000 individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.
Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which offer varying combinations of therapy and recuperation services. Our pioneering new Beneficiary Support Services also offer local and remote assistance to people in need nationwide.
It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising.
