Help Light the Way to a Brighter Future
This Christmas, you have the power to help inspire young people living through and beyond cancer. Illuminate a light on our tree, hang a bauble, a present or a bell, or even balance the star on the top! By donating through our virtual Christmas giving tree, you are helping to light the way to a brighter future.
Our Christmas tree is more than just a festive decoration; it’s a symbol of the brighter futures we can create together.
How It Works:
1. Choose Your Gift: Select a light, bauble, present or candle, or the top star to illuminate on our virtual tree. Each donation will help us support more young people living beyond cancer. You can stick with the minimum donation or give a custom amount.
2. Add Your Touch: Personalise your donation with an optional heartfelt message or a photo. Your contribution will be showcased on the tree, spreading cheer and inspiration to all who visit.
3. Make a Difference: Every light you add helps us brighten the lives of those who need it most, offering them a chance to rediscover their confidence and independence after treatment.
Why Your Support Matters

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust inspires young people aged 8-24 to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.
Through our sailing and outdoor adventures, young people laugh, gain a new sense of purpose and self-worth, rediscover independence, and feel optimism for the future. They realise what they are capable of and stop feeling like ‘the only one’. They start to re-establish their purpose and place in the world and believe in a brighter future.
Every day around 12 young people under 25 are diagnosed with cancer.
What happens after treatment can be as difficult as, if not even more so, than the treatment itself. This is not talked about or is understood enough.
For many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible. That is why when treatment ends our work begins.
