Barncancerfonden

Founded in 1982, Barncancerfonden is a charity based in Stockholm, Sweden working on health, medical research, children & youth.

Barncancerfonden (The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund) is a Swedish charity that works to combat childhood cancer, with the aim that every child who is affected survives and lives a good life. It is the largest single funder of childhood cancer research in Sweden, financing research into more effective and gentler treatments, and it supports affected families and childhood cancer survivors across the country. The organisation consists of a national office in Stockholm and six regional associations that provide local support to families and organise activities. It also engages in political advocacy on issues such as parental bereavement leave and the funding of national quality registers, and runs fundraising events, monthly giving, legacy giving, a gift shop and corporate partnerships. Around 85 kronor of every 100 kronor donated goes to research, advice and support, and information and advocacy.
