Clatterbridge Cancer Research works to fund research to advance the understanding of cancer for the people of Merseyside and Cheshire.
Not to be mistaken for Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology, our research laboratories based in Liverpool focus on how to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, as well as understanding how to provide the most effective ongoing care for cancer patients.
Our reasons for doing this are simple. In Merseyside and Cheshire, we have the worst cancer mortality rates in the country. In fact, as a resident of this region, the reality is that you are 37% more likely to die from cancer compared with the national average. We aim to level the playing field by investing in research which takes place right in the heart of our region and directly benefits every resident of Merseyside and Cheshire. Put quite simply, the more money we can invest in cancer research, the more lives we can save in our region.
Over the past 31 years we have invested more than £20 million into cancer research taking place right on your doorstep – but we can’t continue to do this without your support.
While the name Clatterbridge is synonymous with cancer in our region, Clatterbridge Cancer Research is in fact an independent charity which receives no NHS funding and relies solely upon public donations to survive.
We need to raise in excess of £2 million every year to continue with our vital research – that is nearly £5,500 every day. Visit our donate page to find out how you can support us today, or find out about all the ways you can get involved in supported cancer research in your region.
