Our campaigns

We run campaigns throughout the year, and need you to get involved and help raise awareness.

Campaigning & Advocacy

As a charity we are actively involved in campaigning on behalf of patients and their carers, which we feel is an important part of the work that we do. We are passionate about doing everything we can to improve the experience of patients throughout their cancer journey.

Leukaemia: I wasn’t born yesterday

As part of our report, we undertook a survey of over 1,300 leukaemia patients, to uncover the inequalities that are impacting on cancer survival and patient experience.
