|  | Leukaemia Research is the only charity in the UK dedicated exclusively to researching blood cancers and disorders including leukaemia, Hodgkin’s and other lymphomas, and myeloma.
110,000 people, children and adults alike, are living with these cancers today. 24,500 people are newly diagnosed with one of these conditions every year. We are committed to giving every one of them the best chance of survival.
Our scientists and doctors work in over fifty top research centres across the UK. They are seeking to improve diagnosis of blood disorders and treatments for patients, and to find a cure for blood cancers.
We support patients, their families and friends by providing them a free information service including a range of over 40 publications.
We need to raise more than £100 million over the next five years to sustain our investment. We receive no Government grants and our life-saving research depends entirely on voluntary donations.
Our passionate and determined approach to research is mirrored in our fundraising. Our family of supporters spreads across the UK and includes 140 voluntary branches.
