Leukaemia UK – Our Charity Leukaemia UK is growing!
We are expanding our team to achieve a step-change in income, profile and impact in 2025 and beyond.
We are a 'small but mighty' charity with one big ambition: to stop leukaemia devastating lives.
Over the next 10 years we want to help save and improve the lives of more people with leukaemia through funding life-changing research and campaigning for change.
Despite progress in recent decades, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 16 minutes and for some types of leukaemia survival rates are among the worst of any cancer.
And the physical and psychological impact can be lifelong.
Our current strategy outlines our plan to increase our investment into ground-breaking world class research and policy development focused on improving access to kinder, more effective diagnosis, treatment and care for leukaemia and other blood cancers.
To do this, we are embarking on a period of significant growth, investing strategically to grow our income, profile, influence, and engagement and impact.

We are all focused on "keeping it real" with pragmatic, practical solutions, as well as ensuring that our charity gets the funding it needs to continue to help those diagnosed with leukaemia and other blood cancers.
From us you can expect fun and creativity, as well as great challenge and support.
