Where your money goes
The money you raise helps to save lives
What your money can do
Here are some examples how the money you raise could make a difference:
- £10 could buy around 330 glass slides for studying cells and tumour samples in detail under the microscope.
- £125 could fund one cancer information nurse for a day. Our experienced cancer information nurses provide a confidential service for anyone with concerns about cancer.
- £500 could cover around a month's running expenses for a clinical trial investigating a new way of giving hormone therapy to improve the treatment of prostate cancer.
- £1,000 could cover the cost of collecting samples from 20 people with bowel cancer involved in research that may predict which treatments patients would respond to better.
