Don a christmas jumper, have a coffee and mince pie and join in our festive charity appeal! This is a bit of fun, however the issue couldn't be more serious..
2023 has seen some of the longest waiting times for treatment that cancer patients have ever known. Waiting too long for treatment increases the risks of dying from cancer. We will use every penny raised to campaign to get cancer patients treated on time and improve their chances of being cured and living longer, better.
Your donation makes the difference. Thanks to our supporters, in the past year our work has:
- Been the first to raise concerns about the lack of ambition for cancer patients in the reduction in NHS cancer targets
- Brought cancer waiting times for treatment into the heart of Parliament, providing each and every MP with details of how long their constituents have to wait to get life-saving cancer treatment
- Launched a series of reports and analysis that call out the current cancer crisis in the UK, highlight the need for urgent change to improve patient survival rates, spotlight how the UK is falling behind in radiotherapy treatment compared to similar countries, and offer practical solutions
We are tiny but determined to keep holding govts to account and speaking up for the 4 in 10 cancer patients waiting too long for life-saving treatment this Christmas. You can too by supporting our campaign.
Set up a fundraising page for your coffee morning at https://lnkd.in/ehDPYGDe or collect donations and make a BACs transfer instead. Contact our team if you would like our details to do this.
Or treat yourself to a coffee and a mince pie this festive season. Talk about how cancer has changed your life. Then, take action. Please consider a donation of £6 to help us advocate on behalf of every patient waiting for treatment.
Is there such a thing as feeling festive AND furious?
While the holiday season is a happy time for many, it's certainly not for the almost 4 in 10 cancer patients waiting too long for treatment.
And with every 4 week delay comes a 10% increase in death. Appalling.
If this feels wrong to you, please consider gathering your friends, family and colleagues for a coffee and mince pie morning to raise funds for our #CatchUpWithCancer festive appeal.
Every penny raised will support our year-long campaigning work as we speak up and out on behalf of cancer patients.
Thank you.
