Make a donation
Can’t take part in Race for Life this time? You can still help us change lives by donating to Cancer Research UK instead.
When you donate, we can fund long-term research. And when we fund long-term research, we make breakthroughs that let us prevent, diagnose and treat all 200 types of cancer.
Your money in action
Cancer Research UK don’t receive government funding for our cancer research. Your energy - and your money - powers our life-saving work. Find out more about what your money can do.
Gift Aid your donation
Don’t forget to tick the Gift Aid box on your donation if you are a UK taxpayer. Gift Aid can increase the value of your donation by 25%, meaning that every £1 you donate we can claim an additional 25p from the government – at no additional cost to you.
Please note that if you are donating on behalf of a group, company or someone else, then we cannot claim Gift Aid.
