United Nations Summit

In September 2011, WCRF attended the UN Summit in New York on Non-Communicable Diseases, which focused on four major diseases: cancer, heart disease, diabetes and lung disease. We were proud to represent cancer prevention as it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to mobilise the world to take action to reduce rates of cancer.

WCRF UK Supporter of the Quarter - Winter

Congratulations to David Auger from Petersfield, who has taken part in the Great South Run on behalf of WCRF UK every year since 2006, raising nearly £1,500 to date.

David was motivated to run for WCRF UK after the loss of his father-in-law. "He was an exceptional person who was taken from us much to soon by cancer" says David.

Thank you David for all your dedication and support.

Winter Warmers

Our cookbook, Winter Warmers, is designed to make it easier for you to cook simple, healthy recipes at home. It contains six warming winter meals that can all be made from one shopping list.

Regular giving

The vast majority of WCRF UK’s vital cancer prevention research and education programmes are funded by individuals, without whose support we would not have achieved many of our major scientific advances. Regular gifts to WCRF UK help us to continue to make a difference.

Please consider making a donation of £3 a month or whatever you can afford.
