This problem can affect anyone.

Childhood cancer in the UK is an everyday reality, not a rarity. That is why for every new life and critical illness policy we arrange, we will donate £25 to the Cancer Fighters Foundation, supporting children with cancer in Poland.

— DATA THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

It is not a distant risk — it is everyday reality

NHS and Cancer Research UK data leave no doubt: childhood cancer is a problem faced by a growing number of UK families.

5+

children diagnosed every day in the UK

~2,000

new cases each year in Great Britain

43%

of affected children are under 5 years old

84%

survive 5 years and beyond from diagnosis

Source: Cancer Research UK, NHS Digital / NCRAS data (2019, 2021-2022). Figures for Poland are similar.

What gives hope: 84% of children diagnosed with cancer survive at least 5 years, and around 80% survive 10 years or longer. Medical progress is doing its part. But surviving the disease is not the end of the story — it is the beginning of a years-long battle that comes at a cost. Parents often give up work, travel hundreds of miles for treatment, and pay for rehabilitation and psychological support that neither the NHS nor NFZ covers. That is exactly where we want to help.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

Think about your own family’s needs

Life and critical illness cover with children’s protection is not theory. These are real payouts that reach UK families every year at the hardest moment of their lives.

— ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

Who is Cancer Fighters

The Cancer Fighters Foundation has been operating in Poland since 2015, helping children, young people and adults fighting cancer — as well as their families. It provides financial support for treatment and rehabilitation, psychological care and practical help at the most difficult moments.

The founder, Marek Kopyść, fought cancer himself — and today dedicates his life to supporting other "Warriors", as he calls those he helps.

— WHY WE CHOSE THIS FOUNDATION

Cancer Fighters is a registered Public Benefit Organisation (KRS 0000581036) with a real, documented history of helping hundreds of children and families across Poland.

It is an organisation known for enormous social mobilisation — including the record-breaking, nine-day charity stream run by the online creator ŁatwoGang, which raised over a quarter of a billion zlotys for the treatment and rehabilitation of children with cancer.

We want our support to reach where it genuinely changes someone’s life.

£25

for every new policy

OUR PLEDGE

We will not run a multimillion stream. But we can add our brick.

We cannot replicate the success of ŁatwoGang, whose charity stream for Cancer Fighters raised over 250 million zlotys thanks to the involvement of the biggest stars of the Polish internet. But as a company that has won awards for insurance advice in the UK for years and recommends hundreds of policies to its clients every year — we believe our donation can also make a real difference.

So: for every new life and critical illness policy arranged through us, we will donate £25 to the Cancer Fighters Foundation. At no extra cost to you — it is our gesture, not yours.
