We joined 46 other cancer charities to outline what we need from UK Governments and the NHS coming out of the pandemic to move towards world-leading services.

We published our gender and ethnicity pay gap reports today.

We’ve long felt that Cancer Research UK has a role to play in tackling inequalities, writes Michelle Mitchell.

COVID-19 changed so much of our plans, but it didn’t change everything. In this dark year, there were still pockets of light, writes our CEO Michelle Mitchell.

Last week, the UK Government announced what it would spend money on next year. Overall, the results were a mixed bag – but a step in the right direction, writes Michelle Mitchell.

We’re having to scale down our work to reflect our new situation, but our ambition remains the same, writes our chief executive, Michelle Mitchell.

Because of COVID-19 and the devastating impact it’s had on our income, we could be forced to cut £150 million per year from our research funding. 

Without specific and strategic Government support, the COVID-19 pandemic could have a deep and long-lasting effect on our work.

Like so many of us right now, I’ve been thinking hard about how to be a better ally, writes our CEO, Michelle Mitchell.

With a new Prime Minister in office, the Government’s commitments to supporting the NHS and building on the strength of science in the UK must become reality.
