If you are thinking of remembering a loved one by holding a collection at their funeral, we’ve got everything you need to make organising one as easy as possible.
In order for families to receive acknowledgement and thanks quickly, you can help us by paying funeral donation collections in online, where possible.
If you are a Funeral Director wishing to pay in a collection on behalf of a family, please contact info@childrenscancerresearchfund.co.uk for our bank details.
Any cheques should be made payable to ‘Children’s Cancer Research Fund’, and sent to us at Children’s Cancer Research Fund, c/o Slater Heelis, 86 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2ER.
If you’ve collected cash, please don’t send it through the post. You can bank the cash and send us a cheque for the equivalent amount.
We’d like to make sure that we acknowledge the donation correctly, so along with your cheque, please include a note with the following information:

Nancy, 11, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma when she was just 2 years old. She was treated with Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) in Germany but unfortunately relapsed less than a year later. The family were then sent to Germany for a second round of PBT. Although treatment helped to cure Nancy’s cancer, she has been left with lots of lasting effects which will require ongoing treatment throughout her life. Here Nancy and her mum, Antonia, share their story in the hope it will help others, raise awareness, and raise more money for children’s cancer research.
Why I am a Trustee of CCRF
I have spent my professional career representing individuals and families affected by the devastating asbestos-related cancer, mesothelioma, which has no cure and for which there are only a limited number of palliative treatments available on the NHS.
I joined CCRF because I wanted to bring my understanding of the need to raise awareness of less well known cancers and passion for the need to secure improved funding for research to children facing a cancer diagnosis.
My role on the Board
I am responsible for oversight of our collaboration agreements with other charities to co-fund research into cures and treatments for childhood cancers. I also manage our challenge events and help with community fundraising.
My Background
I am a Senior Associate at Irwin Mitchell LLP and specialise in Asbestos Disease Litigation, acting on behalf of victims of asbestos related diseases and their families. Over the years, I have undertaken a number of fundraising challenges to raise money for cancer research, including a 1000 mile cycle ride from Glasgow to Southampton.
