Blood Cancer UK
We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives.
As well as looking for a cure in the future, we help people right now. We’re there for people when they need someone to talk to and we offer health information people can trust, in a language they can understand.
We also campaign for change, helping make sure that people get the health care they deserve and that new treatments that come from research are available on the NHS.
Breast Cancer Now
We’re Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity. However you’re experiencing breast cancer, we’re here.
The brightest minds in breast cancer research are here, making life-saving research happen in labs across the UK and Ireland. Support services, trustworthy breast cancer information and specialist nurses are here, ready to support you whenever you need it. Dedicated campaigners are here, fighting for the best possible treatment, services and care for anyone affected by breast cancer.
Why? Because our vision is that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live and be supported to live well. But to make that vision a reality, we need to act now.

Radiotherapy UK
Radiotherapy UK is a small but impactful charity fighting for vital cancer treatment. Despite radiotherapy being the second most effective cancer treatment, it receives just 5% of the UK’s cancer treatment budget. Every day this disastrous situation continues, lives are lost and ruined. Radiotherapy UK’s mission is to advocate for patients and professionals across the UK and get this proven treatment, which can cure and uplift quality of life, on the agenda in Westminster and into hospitals. As the team push for huge systemic change, they also aim to walk alongside people undergoing treatment, to make sure they have the information and support they need.

The Swallows was formed by like minded cancer patients to help and support fellow sufferers and their carers. If you are looking for support please come to our meeting.
Tackle Prostate Cancer
