We are on BBC Children in Need tonight! Ahead of tonight’s BBC Children in Need Appeal Show on BBC One and iPlayer, Girls Aloud members Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh visited us at the Royal London Hospital to learn more about where the money raised by the charity goes. This includes the support costs funded by Children in Need. We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise large-scale awareness of not only what we do at CHECT but also about retinoblastoma. A huge thank you to Robyn, Theo, Luka, and their families for sharing their stories; to Children in Need for the opportunity; the Royal London Hospital for their help; and finally, to Nadine and Kimberley, who spent time learning about the important work we do at CHECT.

We love hearing your good news! A huge well done to Joseph, who had retinoblastoma, who has gone on to receive an Award of Excellence in Academics from his school, which was organised by the Chiltern Learning Trust. 🎉 His hard work and dedication have truly shone through, and we couldn't be happier for him. Well done Joseph, and keep working hard at school!

Join us online for our next Grandparents Afternoon Tea catch-up on the 28th November at 1.30pm - 2.30pm.

All whilst enjoying a lovely cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate! Register here: https://buff.ly/3yjkD1I If you have any queries, please contact support@chect.org.uk

A HUGE thank you to Steve and his daughter for completing the Admiral Swansea 10k on behalf of the Matthew22 Fund and the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust! 💙 Their dedication and support mean so much to families affected by retinoblastoma, and we’re so grateful to have them as part of our amazing community. Together we're making a real difference.

We’re incredibly grateful to Kriti, Armanie, and Aazmeen for courageously sharing their experiences with retinoblastoma on the BBC. Kriti, at just eight years old, has already attended over 200 appointments to treat and monitor this rare eye cancer, which has affected three generations in her family. Kriti's sister Armanie discusses what it was like to see her sister go through retinoblastoma, while mum Aazmeen reflects on the period, how CHECT has supported her and her family and her own experiences of retinoblastoma. We’re thrilled that CHECT is a beneficiary of BBC Children in Need. Their generous support helps us to fund support work for the next three years, helping us provide vital support, while they also help us to raise awareness about retinoblastoma in the below clip.
