Young Lives vs Cancer
Young Lives vs Cancer, the operating name for "CLIC Sargent", is a charity in the United Kingdom formed in 2005. Young Lives vs Cancer is a leading UK cancer charity for children, young people and their families. Its care teams provide specialist support across the UK. Young Lives vs Cancer supports people from diagnosis onwards and aims to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment and, in some cases, bereavement. The charity also undertakes research into the impact of cancer on children and young people. It uses this evidence to raise awareness and to seek to influence government and policy-makers, and those who provide public services across the UK. History
CLIC Sargent was formed in 2005 after a successful merger between Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood (CLIC) and Sargent Cancer Care for Children. Sargent was set up in 1967 in memory of conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent who died of cancer. The charity began operating under a new name - "Young Lives vs Cancer" - in May 2021, the tagline already in use by the charity. Chief executive 

Young Lives vs Cancer's chief executive is Rachel Kirby-Rider, who took over from Kate Lee in March 2020. Rachel Kirby-Rider had previously worked for the organisation as the Director of Income and Engagement for 5 years before being appointed. Awareness and fundraising 

Young Lives vs Cancer's main fundraising and awareness event is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. People also fundraise through runs, cycles and other events. Ambassadors
