Who we are

We are 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. 

Every 30 minutes someone in the UK dies of bowel cancer. It’s the UK’s fourth most common cancer, and the second biggest cancer killer. Yet it doesn’t have to be this way. If diagnosed early, it’s treatable and curable.

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
