Volunteers and fundraising

Leukaemia Care is funded through voluntary income from individuals and community groups. Trusts, foundations, and corporate partners all play an important role, too. They help us continue to provide information, advice and support to people affected by blood cancer.

Many supporters complete fundraising events and personal challenges to raise money for us. Others organise community activities such as coffee mornings and sports events. Or local fundraising initiatives. Some supporters choose to make regular donations or leave gifts in their wills. They do this to help ensure that future patients and families can access support when they need it.

In 2025:

• 737 people took part in 64 fundraising challenge events
• Including more than 200 participants in the London Marathon
• Raising over £1 million to support Leukaemia Care’s work

Volunteers also play a vital role in supporting our services. People with lived experience of blood cancer contribute their time by:

• Supporting our buddy service
• Helping to review patient information
• Sharing their experiences to improve our resources and services

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our supporters, volunteers and partners, we can:

• Continue developing our services across the UK
• Support patients and families affected by leukaemia and related blood cancers
• Improve awareness of symptoms and understanding of blood cancer
• Help more people recognise potential warning signs and seek medical advice sooner
