Local fundraising groups
From coffee mornings and car boot sales to quiz nights and murder mysteries, fundraising’s always more fun as a group!
Last year, our fundraising groups raised an incredible £9.72 million towards life saving research, and as the local face of Cancer Research UK they are absolutely crucial to our progress.
Want to be part of a fun, passionate and innovative team ready and raring to help beat cancer sooner? Get creative with friends, family or colleagues and form your very own fundraising group, or get together with one of our existing groups and join them in the fight.
