Children With Cancer Charity

Make a difference to children with cancer

This is the website for MCA Trust, a charity that only offers charitable assistance to children with cancer. We support local children who have cancer through their treatment journey. We know what they need, so we can give breaks and vital equipment to support them every step of the way.

The generosity of people like you makes our mission possible. Our operational funding comes from donations and sponsorship, which enable us to maintain our delivery of essential services. Your support allows us to create meaningful change for children and families who are fighting cancer in Essex and East London.

Our programs deliver respite services to young patients who are receiving medical treatment. We organise special outings and provide emotional support, alongside granting access to essential equipment for our beneficiaries. Our efforts help reduce the challenges faced by these children and families during their tough times.

Every contribution matters.

Your donation to MCA Trust represents more than a monetary gift; it stands as a symbol of hope for those in need. Your gifts enable our essential operations to deliver meaningful results for those who need support the most.

Please consider donating today. Your assistance enables us to deliver fundamental services that support local children and teenagers throughout their cancer journey. By working together, we can deliver comfort and relief to children who face the difficulties of battling cancer. Thank you for your support.

Giving children with cancer a reason to keep smiling

Founded in 2011, our mission is to provide essential support to children diagnosed with all forms of cancer across Essex and East London. By working closely with local NHS Trusts, we fund vital equipment and materials that help create a more positive environment in cancer units.

Beyond the hospital, we also bring joy to families by making special wishes come true. Whether through unforgettable experiences or much-needed holidays, we offer respite from the daily challenges of childhood cancer.

The MCA Trust operates entirely through the dedication of volunteers. Our work is made possible by generous donations, sponsorships, and corporate partnerships, all of which help us continue supporting children and their families.

MCA Trust Presents...

First annual family respite break at Potters Resort, Hopton

The MCA Trust hosted five families at Potters Resort in Hopton, Norfolk — giving children hours of fun and their parents valuable time to relax and connect.

Children enjoyed endless entertainment and activities, while parents had quality time together and vital respite. This marks the first annual MCA Trust family respite break for those impacted by childhood cancer — a new tradition we’re proud to begin.

“We simply cannot thank the team at the MCA Trust enough! Dottie and Bella said your Christmas Extravaganza was the best one ever – they loved every second of it!”

We feel extremely lucky to have been introduced to The MCA Trust. They surprised our family with an all-expenses-paid respite break to Disneyland Paris for the weekend! This was the trip of a lifetime that gave my daughter, Sienna, the time to be free and not worry about being in constant pain. She had so much fun, and we found out she is a pure dare devil on the rides!
