Cancer Research UK is the world's leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, influence and information. Nearly one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime, but we’re finding new ways to outsmart it, so that more people can live longer, better lives free from the fear of cancer. We carry out scientific research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer and our groundbreaking work, funded almost entirely by the general public, will ensure that millions more people survive. Together we are beating cancer. Registered charity No. 1089464.

Far too many of us have felt the pain of losing someone we love to cardiovascular disease, the world’s biggest killer. With your support, British Heart Foundation (BHF) powers groundbreaking research to save and improve lives. Since 1961, your support has helped us fund scientific breakthroughs that are keeping more families together today, from pacemaker technology and portable defibrillators to proving that statins can help save lives. And with your support, our ambitions for the years to come are even bolder. Every three minutes someone loses their life to cardiovascular disease in the UK. We’re dedicated to powering advances in cardiovascular science and healthcare that will bring us closer to the day that everyone has a healthier heart for longer. But we can’t do it without your support. Together, the next breakthroughs in diagnosing, treating, and preventing cardiovascular disease are in reach.
