Story
Back in 1990 when the charity was established, we were the first UK charity solely dedicated to lung cancer and, 30 years on, we remain the only UK charity solely dedicated in supporting everyone affected by the disease.
Over the past 30 years together 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
Helped thousands of people to stop smoking
Funded and built the first lung cancer research centre in the UK
Campaigned for life-lengthening treatments
Raised awareness of lung cancer, challenged the misconceptions around the disease and improved attitudes
Provided emotional, practical and financial support for thousands and thousands of people diagnosed and living with lung cancer.
But there is still so much more to do and we need support too.
