Patrons



We are delighted to have the support of our three charity patrons: Natalie Cassidy, Rob Brydon and Carl Cavers. They are each passionate supporters of our work and vision for a future where no child dies from the childhood cancer neuroblastoma or suffers due to the treatment they receive.

Natalie Cassidy

Natalie Cassidy is our newest Patron, joining us in September 2025. 

Natalie has been a familiar face on our screens for over three decades, most notably in her iconic role as Sonia in EastEnders. She’s also made her mark in the podcasting world with her show Life with Nat. After stepping away from the soap earlier this year, Natalie was crowned winner of ITV’s Cooking With The Stars and is set to release her memoir Happy Days this October.  

Natalie has been a longtime friend of the charity, after her daughter’s best friend was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma at just five years old. Since then, she has championed our work, including presenting our BBC Radio 4 Appeal last year.

In her role as Patron, Natalie will help amplify the charity’s voice, raise vital awareness, and inspire greater public support for its mission to improve survival and quality of life for children with neuroblastoma.

Rob Brydon

Rob, one of the UK's most celebrated performers, joined as our first charity Patron in 2020, one of the most extraordinary and challenging of years. “I am honoured to be the charity’s first patron; I have had a personal connection to Solving Kids’ Cancer UK for many years and their work is a cause that is very close to my heart. I’m looking forward to supporting their work." Rob has a very personal connection to Solving Kids’ Cancer UK, having supported Matt White, Solving Kids’ Cancer UK Trustee, and his family, when their son Felix was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2009 at the age of 4. Felix sadly passed away when he was just 6, but it is children like Felix and their families that drive the passion and ambition of Solving Kids’ Cancer UK; to bring innovative less toxic treatments for neuroblastoma closer to home, the funding of clinical research, and to provide much-needed support to families from the point of diagnosis.
