Why we need your help

Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, is the UK’s fifth most common cancer. Every 26 minutes someone is diagnosed - that’s 55 people a day or over 20,000 people a year.

Lymphoma is a complex disease and the physical, emotional and financial effects of lymphoma and its treatment can be incredibly difficult. We're here to make sure no-one has to face lymphoma alone through information, education, support and influence. 

We are the UK's only charity dedicated to lymphoma and are often the first point of contact, offering a listening ear and much needed connection.
