UCLH is one of the largest and most advanced radiotherapy centres in Europe, and will soon be treating over half of all children in England who require radiotherapy. Families travel from across the country to UCLH for specialist care. However, the environment these young patients spend significant time in no longer meets the standard of the clinical expertise.

Children undergoing radiotherapy may attend hospital every weekday for up to six weeks. Many spend long periods away from home. Parents, carers, and staff consistently tell us that the current environment does not reflect the exceptional care provided.

With your support, the UCLH Charity Cancer Fund is aiming to raise £150,000 to transform the children’s radiotherapy environment by:

Refurbishing the recovery room to create a calm, reassuring space for children waking from anaesthesia

Revitalising the playroom with sensory equipment, books, consoles, and comfortable seating

Improving the isolation room for vulnerable patients who must be kept apart for safety

Introducing interactive lighting and technology to bring comfort and distraction into a windowless unit

Replacing worn furniture and storage to create a more organised, welcoming environment.

Your donation will help create a radiotherapy unit that supports children not only clinically, but emotionally and psychologically.

£25 could provide new creative materials and toys

£100 could help enhance the recovery room

£500 could fund sensory or interactive equipment

Every contribution brings us closer to a space that truly reflects the world‑class care young patients receive.
