Story

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease.

Since 1990 we have funded over £30 million in lung cancer research, lay the groundwork for lung cancer screening, funded the first ever lung cancer nurse specialist, performed the first ever lung cancer keyhole surgery, funded and built the first lung cancer research centre in the UK, campaigned for life-lengthening treatments, raised awareness of lung cancer, challenge the misconceptions around the disease, provided emotional, practical & financial support for thousand diagnosed & living with lung cancer.

There is still so much more to do & as the current situation proves the need for our charity is imperative. People with Lung cancer are at the highest risk of serious illness if they catch COVID-19. In addition to this many are faced with the very realistic prospect that their treatment may be postponed. This is understandably creating high levels of anxiety & worry. As a result of our calls to our Ask the Nurse service to have increased by 56% whilst our latest service our Keep in Touch support service is ensuring the most socially isolated are not overlooked or forgotten.

We receive no government funding. This means everything we do, every research project we fund, every person we support, every life we save, only happens because of the generosity & support we receive from people like our Roys Runners.

About the charity

We are the only UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease. We fund essential research and provide much needed support, information and advice. We raise awareness and challenge the misconceptions of lung cancer. We do all this so those affected can expect better.
