Seven Centres to form new Cancer Research UK network

Sad that there is no Centre in the Midlands given all the great cancer research and fund raising that goes on in this region. Fully appreciate the current funding challenges but this is the typical situation when it comes to all sorts of funding opportunities and investments. The Midlands is frequently overlooked. So much for levelling up!

We hear a lot about ‘Levelling Up’. As someone living in the north, it is especially galling that there is a marked southern bias in the institutions chosen. Surely this is the type of funding that if given to Nottingham, Leeds, Belfast etc would encourage world class researchers to those locations and aid the undoubted need to level up the country.

You can do better than this Cancer Research UK. I would like a response to this submission.

Would it be possible to understand what research is being funded across the 7 centres from April this year? Thank you

Wonderful plan I am so proud of the work you do and will always support you.
A little disappointed that N .IRELAND not included

So, six centres in England, one in Scotland, none in Wales?
Highly weighted to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

I feel happy to know that in my country there is so much investment and research in learning how to beat the terrible illness that has wrecked so many lives and families. I feel honoured to be donating to such a wonderful cause and congratulate all within it.

Hello Cancer Research UK
I am a subscriber to your work, in memory of my wife, who died here in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire in 2014. One question: Why does your list of Research UK Centres not list a West Midlands or Welsh location? Please answer within seven days, as this reasonable request will be copied out to readers of my local newsletter ‘The Cleobury Clarion.’
Thank you for all the wonderful work you do, but there are people in need of your
support all over the country.
With the greatest respect for the work you do.

I think it is great that CRUK is doing so much for Cancer Research
I owe my life to Cancer Research so I am eternally grateful
However I feel that the huge amount of work
Raising awareness
Talking to survivors
Raising money
Done by thousands of volunteers an employees of CRUK is not always noted in your
information to volunteers
The huge teams of people working to run support etc etc the Cancer Research shops
are never mentioned in your letters emails etc

Very important information.

Cancer reseach is doing a good job, i will be part of fundraising team every year

I am a registered nurse working the medical wards. I would like to work as a research nurse. Currently, l am located in Redhill with my family. Please can you help me to know whether you have any research nurse vacancy in Redhill, Surrey?

It is great to see my town chosen to receive some of this money into research.But having survived an extremely rare cancer it was disappointing to find out that the rarer the cancer unfortunately the less research.

Not really happy that you have not a research centre in the West Midlands I would like to know the reason. Is this that you don’t consider us as not being educated to a sufficient level

I really hope that this funding can lead to some positive developments and I’m happy to see my home town listed here.
