More Research, Less Cancer

We stand on the brink of discoveries that will transform how we understand and overcome cancer and other diseases. But we need to go further, faster.   

About our campaign

More Research, Less Cancer is the philanthropic campaign for Cancer Research UK. We aim to raise £400m, which will play a crucial role in delivering our strategy, enabling research that will make transformative steps forward in how we prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer.

Our priorities

Cancer Research UK is the world’s biggest charitable funder of cancer research. Our size means we work at scale, directly funding the best science and scientists, translating discoveries into tests and treatments that can save lives, and leveraging government, corporate, venture capital and partner funding - while remaining resolutely independent.  

We are making progress. Yet, many cancers and their causes remain a mystery. We must – and will – find the answers.

To do this, we will focus on four key priorities, which support our vision to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
