Leukaemia UK has been working hard to help improve the treatment and care of blood cancer patients for more than 40 years.
Leukaemia UK likes to support projects that make the wellbeing of people dealing with blood cancers their first priority.
Leukaemia UK also works closely with health professionals and hospitals to identify areas where we can make a positive contribution so your donations are spent where they will have the most significant impact.
Leukaemia UK support projects that have an immediate or near-future benefit to patients and the treatment and cure of leukaemia, Hodgkin and other lymphomas, myeloma, myelodysplasia and other blood cancers.
Leukaemia UK’s research: Leukaemia UK is currently funding several research projects which are investigating how to improve treatment options and developing easier ways to diagnose blood cancers.
Leukaemia UK’s Mind & Body project: Dealing with a blood cancer diagnosis can be both physically and emotionally draining. We believe advances in medical treatments need to be matched by much greater emotional and wellbeing care for people affected by blood cancers. Getting the right care and support can help everyone’s ability to cope, which is why we’re helping to fund specialist staff posts to help people get better, sooner.
Leukaemia UK’s Helping Hand Fund: Some people experiencing real financial hardship as a result of their blood cancer may qualify for a one-off grant. Applications must be supported by the consultant or specialist nurse treating the patient.
