How we’ve delivered on what we said we’d do last year

We are here to beat blood cancer. We do this by funding research that leads to better treatments, giving information and support to people affected by blood cancer and campaigning for better healthcare.

The COVID-19 pandemic - an unprecedented crisis

Over the last 60 years, we have shown that blood cancer research saves lives, and the £500 million we have invested has helped radically transform treatments.

Research - the impact of the pandemic

We continued to campaign for better healthcare for people with blood cancer.

Continuing to support people with blood cancer

Over the last year we gave information and support to more people affected by blood cancer than ever before.

Supporting healthcare professionals and the NHS

Over the last year we saw a huge increase in the number of people using our support services, with the 2,500 times we helped people representing a 76% rise on the previous year.

Fundraising - a challenging year

As well as supporting people affected by blood cancer, we helped nurses make sure they could give their patients the best possible care.

Building foundations for the future

The most obvious change we’ve seen over the last year is our name.

What we plan to do in 2021/2022

As with 2020/21, the pandemic means our income remains uncertain and we need to be flexible enough to ensure we can respond to the changing needs of our community. But there are some things we already know we want to achieve over the next year.
