CancerCare is a local cancer and bereavement charity that helps people discover their capacity for life when times are tough - with the professional help, emotional support and collective strength to face whatever's next.

More than 90% of CancerCare's work is funded by people like you who donate, fundraise or give a gift in their Will.

Batala Lancaster are a community Samba Reggae Drumming band based in Lancaster, UK. Each year all Batala Lancaster drummers are invited to propose a charity that we fundraise for in the coming year. CancerCare is our chosen charity for our 2024-2025 gigging season, which also coincides with the band's 20th birthday! We raise money through charity busking events - please keep an eye on the updates section for details on these events.
