Cancer Research UK

Official England Netball Charity

We are the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research.

We’ve saved millions of lives with our groundbreaking work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. People’s chances of surviving cancer have doubled in the last 40 years, and we’ve been at the heart of that progress.

But more than one in three of us will still get cancer at some point. Our vital work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people survive.

Our aim is to save lives from cancer. More people are beating cancer than ever before thanks to our work and your support.

We work in the areas where we can make the most impact:

• Research – we support the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK to investigate all aspects of cancer.

• Information – we work to prevent cancer and help people cope with its effects by providing information for cancer patients and their families, health professionals and the general public.

• Influencing public policy – we campaign to keep cancer at the top of the health agenda.
