Ralph Lauren and celebrated British musician, composer and choir director Gareth Malone OBE have come together to create “A Little Time,” an original song inspired by the patients and staff of The Royal Marsden. Proceeds from the streaming and downloads of “A Little Time” will benefit The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping us to fund the work of The Royal Marsden so that we can save the lives of people with cancer, everywhere.
The song, titled “A Little Time”, was inspired by conversations with The Royal Marsden’s patients and staff, and captures the power of connection, resilience, and shared hope. Performed by the Capital Children’s Choir and London Youth Choir, “A Little Time” was debuted at The Ralph Lauren Holiday Experience in Sloane Square during the Chelsea Christmas Lights Switch-On celebration on Saturday, 15 November 2025.
With every download, 98% of the download price of “A Little Time” will benefit The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity (Registered Charity No. 1095197). Please note a 2% processing fee is applied by the distributor per transaction. You can now pre-order the song on iTunes ahead of its release: A Little Time (The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity) - Single - Album by Gareth Malone - Apple Music
