Why Kent Cancer Trust Needs Your Support

At Kent Cancer Trust, we have set ourselves the task of making a real difference to cancer care in Kent.

Our experience shows that multidisciplinary teamwork between clinicians and scientists works and can deliver real breakthroughs. You can see the results of our funded projects on our Projects page.

We also aim to expand the number of scientists and researchers working on cancer in Kent and to share our progress with the community, explaining what we have achieved and the areas where breakthroughs are still needed. These activities are also highlighted in our Projects section.

Every donation helps us fund these vital research projects, support pioneering scientists, and bring Kent one step closer to improved treatments — and, ultimately, a cure.

  • 100% of donations collected in Kent are spent in Kent. We fund:

    • University research projects with measurable outcomes

    • Equipment for clinical and scientific teams

    • Public lectures and events to raise awareness about cancer

    • Programs to support and expand the number of local cancer researchers

    You can see the projects we have supported and those currently underway on our Projects page.

  • If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid, which allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give at no additional cost to you.
