Who we are

An international network of charities, we’ve been funding life-saving research, influencing global health policy and informing the public since 1982.

Our vision is to live in a world where no one dies of a preventable cancer

World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) International is a not-for-profit organisation that leads and unifies a network of cancer prevention charities.

The registered charities in our network comprise the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), World Cancer Research Fund in the UK, Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds in the Netherlands and World Cancer Research Fund Hong Kong, giving us a global voice to inform people about cancer prevention.

We champion the latest and most authoritative scientific research from around the world on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risk.

World Cancer Research Fund International’s ground-breaking research is used to produce the evidence-based Cancer Prevention Recommendations that help save lives around the world. We also lead on global policy work to advocate for better public health policies to help prevent cancer.
