Cancer research

Cancer researchers at Cardiff University are improving outcomes for people living with some of the most common cancers such as breast, prostate and bowel, as well as those that are rarer or hard to treat. Find out more about our cancer research.

How fundraising can help you

Fundraising for our research is a great way to make a difference and have fun at the same time. It can be a chance to get to know new people or reconnect with old friends. Your fundraising can help you get active, develop new skills, build your confidence, and even boost your CV.

It’s also a special way to celebrate, support, and remember loved ones who may be affected by cancer, or neurological or mental health conditions. If you would like to fundraise in memory, please get in touch.
