Who we are

We're the UK's leading bowel cancer charity,

and we're determined to saves lives and improve the quality of life for everyone affected by bowel cancer. 

Our task is urgent. Every 30 minutes someone dies from bowel cancer, making it the UK’s second biggest cancer killer. But it shouldn’t be this way, because bowel cancer is a treatable and curable disease, especially if diagnosed early.

Our vision is a future where nobody dies of the disease.

  • We provide expert information and support to patients and their family

  • We campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care

  • We support and fund research so more people survive bowel cancer

  • We educate the public and professionals about the disease

 

Our five year strategy

In July 2023 we launched our new five-year strategy, 'On a Mission'. This set out how we'll continue to work relentlessly towards our vision of a future where nobody dies from bowel cancer.

There are four goals that form the building blocks of our strategy:

Goal one: Increase awareness and understanding of bowel cancer

Goal two: Remove the barriers to people being diagnosed quickly and at the earliest possible stage

Goal three: Get the right treatment and care to every patient

Goal four: Support people to cope better with bowel cancer
