About NACCPO

The National Alliance of Childhood Cancer Parent Organisations (NACCPO) is made up of parent run organisations that have common aims of working together to support children and young adults with cancer.

NACCPO’s Aims

To share best practice between member local parent organisations in the UK and around the world, to support children with cancer.

To create a national voice for parents of children with cancer, by working with medical, government and charity organisations on a national level, to address issues affecting children with cancer and their families.

To widen membership to include other existing parent run organisations, or to help parents form new local organisations.

To offer support and information to families who are not members of a support group and who may be experiencing difficulties associated with having a child undergoing cancer treatment.

NACCPO on an International Level

NACCPO is also the UK member of the International Confederation of Childhood Cancer Parent Organisations (ICCCPO)

The ICCCPO mission is to share information and experience in order to improve access to the best possible care for children with cancer everywhere in the world. Currently 80% of the World’s children with cancer do not have access to live-saving treatment – ICCCPO member groups are working together to tackle this huge injustice.
