Hope Against Cancer

Supporting world-class local cancer research


Hope Against Cancer fund pioneering cancer research and outstanding cancer care in Leicestershire and Rutland.

In partnership with our local universities and local NHS Trust we support the discovery of new treatments for cancer, support the delivery of these treatments at the Hope Cancer Trials Centre and support the national and international effort to overcome cancer through the sharing of HOPE funded research skills and results.

How Your Support Helps

Donations made to Hope Against Cancer go to funding three Hope Nurses at the Hope Cancer Trials Centre, supporting PhD students, Clinical Development Fellowships, infrastructure and vital equipment that allows world-class research and care to flourish.

Hope funding has been an important factor in new treatments that are changing the lives of people with cancer in Leicestershire, Rutland and beyond.
