We’re delighted to announce that thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters we are funding an incredible 26 new projects in 2022! Each of these research projects could be the start of a new cancer cure of the future that will help us put an end to cancer.
These 26 new projects total an investment of £5.2m in cancer research projects starting in 2022.
This is an increase of £1.6m from 2021 – testament to the incredible generosity of all our Curestarters who have made this possible. This increase in discovery research will be welcome now more than ever by people affected by cancer, as recent research has shown that funding for this type of cancer research has declined by 25% since 2006.
Without the support of our Curestarter community, new ideas couldn’t be pursued and there would be a real risk that the pipeline of new cures for cancer would run dry.
We’re also ecstatic that we’ve been able to once again team up with other research charities to co-fund three projects and make our Curestarter’s donations go even further.
The FC-AECC are helping to fund a project in Spain on breast cancer, Cancer Australia are supporting a project in Australia on endometrial cancer, and Pancreatic Cancer UK are helping us fund a project in Glasgow. Thanks to their support, we have been able to kickstart more potential cures that could have been missed.
And while this increase in funding is great progress, we have big ambitions to do more. With the help of our Curestarters, over the next 10 years, we want to be able to fund 100 new discoveries each year.
Research cannot happen without the support of people like you. If you’re feeling inspired, why not help us make the breakthroughs of the future by donating and starting new cancer cures today?
