Our Captains’ Charities

New Lilleshall Hall Golf Club Captains are Supporting.

Cancer Research UK Logo

This year’s Captains of Lilleshall Hall Golf Club have nominated Cancer Research UK as their charity:

We are the leading childhood cancer charity in the UK, supporting families and childhood cancer research since 1988. Over the last 35 years, we’ve developed kinder treatments, improved public and scientific understanding of childhood cancer and raised over £300 million.

What we do

Every child should have their whole life ahead of them, but cancer is still one of the biggest causes of death in young people under the age of 15.

Finding new ways to identify cancer in children and young people, and better, kinder ways to treat them means more will survive without the life-inhibiting side effects that can often come with remission.

We fund research

We’ve funded over 300 research projects leading to the development of better, kinder treatments and significantly contributing to survival rates which we’ve seen improve from 67% to 85.2%*

Family

We support families

From ‘amazing days out’ to funding accommodation close to hospitals, we work with partners to ensure families have the emotional and financial support they need, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their child.
