World Cancer Day 2022. Where will you start cancer cures?

26 potential new cures

Thanks to people like you, we’re committed to awarding a further £5.2 million towards 26 new research projects that could start the cancer cures of the future, today. This is an increase of £1.6m from 2021 – testament to the incredible generosity of all our Curestarters who have made this possible.

With cancer set to be the biggest killer worldwide by 2030, we can't stop there.

And while this increase in funding is great progress, with your help, we have big ambitions to do more. Each year, 100 is the number of brilliant new ideas submitted to us by researchers around the world – but right now, we can only fund a fraction of these. With the help of our Curestarters, over the next 10 years, we want to be able to fund 100 new discoveries each year.

Cures for cancer can be started anywhere – whether it’s at the bus stop, in the queue at the shops, or from the comfort of your own sofa.
