Partner with World Cancer Research Fund to prevent cancer and save lives.

Why partner with us?

Cancer touches the lives of millions of people across the UK and beyond. Our belief is that too many people are dying from preventable cancers and the problem is only getting worse. Whilst millions of pounds are raised for cancer research each year, only 5% of that is spent on cancer prevention research.

By partnering with us we can support people to live longer, happier, healthier lives free from the devastating impact of cancer. Together we’ll unlock shared value through a tailored partnership that links our life-changing work with your company’s long-term ambitions. Partnering with us will help you to demonstrate your brand purpose to the millions of people living with and at risk of cancer, as well as boosting employee engagement.

Partner with us

Here are just some of the ways that we can work together. We would be delighted to explore how we can create a bespoke partnership that meets your business needs, whilst also ensuring we have the greatest impact on people living with and affected by cancer. To discuss partnership opportunities, please email corporate@wcrf.org.

Strategic partnerships

We work with companies to build mutually beneficial partnerships that have a shared purpose at their core. Collaborate with us to achieve your ambition and help make a sustainable impact on cancer. We would love to work with you to define your strategic fundraising goal and then create a tailored programme of fundraising activities that will bring your employees together around an important cause. This could include increasing the public’s awareness of their risk of developing cancer or working together to tackle the inequalities that face certain population groups affected by cancer.

Some of the ways we currently support people include:

  • providing support to thousands of people living with cancer through our dedicated Cancer and Nutrition Helpline
  • cancer and lifestyle education which helps people – young and old – to reduce their cancer risk
  • better outcomes for cancer patients with our groundbreaking research
  • helping healthcare professionals deliver better care.

Employee fundraising

There are so many ways for employees to fundraise for WCRF. We can provide you with several ideas and options – from hosting a Fruity Friday to getting a team together to take part in an Ultra Challenge.

Health and Wellbeing packages

Boost employee engagement and team morale with bespoke fundraising events, volunteering opportunities, workplace visits and more. We can support your employees to adopt healthier lifestyles through our free cancer prevention programmes:

  • Cancer Health Check
  • Activ8

  • Exclusive invites to events

We can also provide a variety of health information for your staff and workplace.

Commercial opportunities

Support our work by donating a percentage of your profits from a particular product or range of products.

Sponsorship

Potential sponsorship opportunities include our Events and challenges, Health Information resources and our annual campaign, Cancer Prevention Action Week (CPAW).

Payroll giving

Payroll giving lets employees donate from their gross salary (before tax is deducted), giving tax relief on those donations. It’s also possible to donate like this through a pension.
