About Cancer Research UK
The UK’s leading funder of cancer research
Cancer Research UK is the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research.
What we do
We support research into many aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,800 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK.
Our vision – together we will beat cancer – is only achievable thanks to people like you supporting us through Donate in Memory.
We will achieve our vision by:
- Carrying out world-class research to improve our understanding of cancer and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer.
- Ensuring that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients.
- Helping people to understand cancer, the progress we are making and the choices each person can make.
- Working in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.
Our work is entirely funded by the public so the money raised by Donate in Memory will help us achieve our vision and give hope to people affected by cancer both now and in the future.
