Help us to build a better future for cancer patients

One in three people are affected by cancer.  Every day lives are changed forever by this disease, which indiscriminately alters the futures of people everywhere.

Inspired by ’s cancer day-care centres which focus on an individualised and holistic approach to treatment of cancer patients, UCLH is building one of the top cancer centres in .

This cancer centre which will open in 2012, will be a state-of-the-art building, with each floor designed around the needs of patients with different cancers, including dedicated facilities for teenage cancers, women’s health and men’s cancers.

The cancer centre will be linked with the UCL Cancer Institute which is situated directly opposite the site, encouraging un-chartered opportunity for close collaboration between these two prestigious institutions.  Together they will form a centre of excellence for cancer.

Changing the shape of cancer patients’ futures comes at a price – the cancer centre is costing £100 million to build.  The NHS trust has asked UCLH Charitable Foundation to raise £30 million of the costs for the cancer centre.  

The following donors (and many others) have generously donated to the cancer centre appeal; The Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund, £750,000; ICAP £500,000. In addition to these donations the following pledges have been made (these pledges are included in the total shown on this page); Macmillan Cancer Support £10 million, Teenage Cancer Trust £2.25 million, The Fiona and Geoff Squires Foundation £1 million, The Michael and Morven Heller Foundation £100,000.

Our sincere thanks goes out to the generosity of people who choose to support this project.

Thank you for your support.
