About

MET Marketing have selected Candlelighters as their charity of the year for 2022. 

Late in 2021 childhood cancer was brought to the forefront as one of the over 150 children in Yorkshire who are diagnosed with cancer each year was closely known by a member of the team.

Aged just 7 years old and coming entirely out of the blue, this really highlighted that these things really can happen to anyone, at any time, and having professionals available to support families and children in these circumstances is so important. 

When a child is diagnosed, lives are turned upside down instantly: not just for the child but the entire family. Getting well again can be a long and challenging journey, emotionally, physically, and financially. Supporting children and families throughout that journey is why Candlelighters, was formed more than 40 years ago.

Their mission is to bring light to every family affected by childhood cancer across Yorkshire by providing emotional, practical and financial support, as well as bringing hope, by investing in vital research to improve the outcomes and lives of children with cancer.
