It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters that we’ve helped double cancer survival in the UK in the last 50 years. This is what your donations can do:
£60 could buy a microscope lens, meaning our scientists can focus on the small details that could help us beat cancer.
£160 could buy a Wright-Giemsa cell staining kit, which our scientists use to distinguish between different types of blood cells.
£400 could buy a microscope camera, allowing our scientists to take images of cancer cells in tumour tissue samples and share them with researchers globally.
