Cancer Research UK
Donate to help us beat cancer
We fund around 50% of all cancer research in the UK.
COVID-19 has slowed us down. But we will never stop.
How our work is being affected
Right now, clinical trials are being postponed, and vital research is being delayed. But we’re working hard to minimise the impact of COVID-19 on our life-saving work.
Cancer symptoms and COVID-19
1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime, and COVID-19 won’t change that. It’s important to contact your doctor if you have any possible signs or symptoms of cancer.
Volunteering during lockdown
Our volunteers save lives, and you can join them. There are lots of ways you can volunteer for us from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and help support our life-saving research.
About cancer
If you've been diagnosed with cancer, or know someone who has, we provide practical advice on everything from symptoms and screening, to coping after treatment.
Cancer chat
We know it’s a worrying time for many people, and you can chat with others affected by cancer on our online forum. Cancer Chat is free to join and available 24 hours a day.
Gifts in Wills
Gifts in Wills fund over a third of our life-saving research. Order our free Gifts in Wills guide to get useful Will-writing guidance. Or find out more about our Free Will Service.
