Thanks to research, today more people than ever survive cancer and go on to live full and healthy lives. North West Cancer Research want to make this true for everyone
We are currently funding over 50 world-class cancer research projects across the North West and North Wales. We fund research into understanding and stopping the cancers that are most prevalent in our region.
We fund only the highest quality research and are proud to be members of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). We adhere to their processes and guidance to ensure our funding and the management of our research priorities are transparent and rigorous.
