We are getting to work right away

Our vision and objectives focus on cancer care right now, and a revolution for the future. To reach our ambitious goals, here’s how we’re taking action today and long-term. 

Reach everyone today

There are currently 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK.

Support for all

 

We’ll still be there for everyone with our support, information and advice. This includes our advisers on our Support Line who are just an email, message or phone call away. People with cancer can also access our supportive online community around the clock.

Expanding our network of cancer care professionals


We’re growing our community of nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals who give their patients the very best cancer care.

Greater presence where we’re needed most


We’re doing more where people with cancer need us most. This means evolving the information and support we provide, and adapting how we deliver it so more people across the UK get the help they need.

Transform cancer care of the future

By working differently we can make an even bigger difference.

Fairer care for all

 

We’ll keep putting people with cancer at the heart of all we do and help everyone access the best cancer care the UK has to offer. By working with other professionals in cancer care, we’ll promote best practice across the UK to make better cancer care available for everyone, no matter who or where they are.

More personal, joined-up care

 

We’ll use what we hear from people across the UK to understand how cancer affects them in different ways, and support them to have them a bigger say in their care. We’ll look beyond their cancer diagnosis to other long-term conditions that impact their lives to give them the joined-up care they need.

Together works better

 

We’ll work with partners across public services, business and the charity sector, to innovate and test what works to improve cancer care. We’ll share what we learn to help transform care for people with cancer and other long-term conditions across the UK.
