We've previously funded research into all different types of cancer, with the common goal to improve the lives of people affected by cancer and prevent cancer from occurring in the first place. Label the different body parts on our body map and colour it in.

We are made up of trillions of cells, but do you know what each of our cells are made up of? Match the names of the different parts of the cell with their descriptions, and colour in the cell diagram. Bonus activity: Creative Cells! Using the diagram as a template, make your own cell out of play-dough, Lego, or anything you can find around your house such as cereal boxes and bottle tops. We’d love to see pictures of your cell creations by uploading them to social media and tagging us!

We have trillions of cells in our bodies, some of which help protect us from germs and other things that can harm us. Some cells that protect us are called T cells. Complete our maze by getting the T cell through the maze to the changed cell at the end, missing all of the healthy cells along the way.

We love the sun, perhaps because we don’t see enough of it. But how many of us are staying sun safe during lockdown? Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and every time you get sunburn you triple your risk of developing skin cancer. Help keep your neighbours safe in the sun when they go out for a walk or to exercise by making a window display using our fun and creative Here Comes the Sun activities and share top tips for staying safe in the sun! We’d love to see your window displays too so don’t forget to upload a picture to social media and tag us @TCCInsightTeam
