Philanthropy

We have a proven track-record of awe-inspiring research, which is transforming the lives of cancer patients around the world.

We are grateful to work with a community of generous donors who support the breadth of our work. This includes funding PhD studentships, supporting the best and most talented scientists, and helping to drive our drug discovery work finding new and better treatments for cancer patients.

There are many ways you can support our mission to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.

How we work with philanthropists

Philanthropy has played a key role in the progress we have made over the years and there are many opportunities to make a real impact and be a part of the future of cancer research.

By developing long-term relationships with philanthropists, we offer the opportunity for you to see our work first-hand. Including meeting our scientists and clinicians to enable you to better understand how your support can change the face of research.

We are proud of the relationships we have built over many years and would be delighted to speak with you about how we can help realise your philanthropic goals.

How your philanthropic investment could help the future of cancer research

From investing in cutting-edge technology to innovative research projects at our sites in Chelsea and Sutton, your support is critical to our world leading cancer research.

Your investment supports our work by providing funds that are directed to cancer research projects matching a specific area of interest or tumour type, or where the need is greatest.  

Driving research

To respond to the need for more and better treatments, our priority is securing funds for our Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery programme which is where many of our key breakthroughs happen

The programme is the largest and most successful academic drug discovery unit in the world, discovering treatments that aim to turn cancer into a disease that can be controlled long term and effectively cured.

Please help us accelerate the pace and widen the scope of our drug discovery research.
