Turn something you love into life-changing support

Whether you’re organising a bake sale, hosting a quiz night, taking on a sporting challenge or bringing your community together for a golf day, your fundraising can help create a future with fewer preventable cancers.

Every pound you raise supports World Cancer Research Fund’s pioneering research, trusted health information and education programmes that help people make informed choices about their health. Together, we’re working to prevent cancer before it starts.

No event is too big or too small. Whatever you’re passionate about, we’ll be here to support you with ideas, fundraising resources and advice to help make your event a success.

Need some inspiration? Our incredible supporters have completed HYROX challenges, organised squash tournaments, hosted golf days and raised thousands of pounds to help fund our work.

Now it’s your turn to make a difference.

I've been raising money for WCRF for nearly a decade and I'm proud of everything I've achieved. I've met some amazing people – from those in the offices helping to get the word out, to the scientists making waves and advances in cancer prevention.

I choose to support World Cancer Research Fund as they are the leading cancer prevention charity. The work they do empowers people to take action to lead healthier, happier, cancer-free lives.
