CANCER RESEARCH

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Their ambition is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. They want survival in the UK to be among the best in the world and are focusing their efforts in four key areas – working to help prevent cancer, diagnose it earlier, develop new treatments and optimise current treatments by personalising them and making them even more effective.

DOG'S TRUST

Founded in 1891, Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Their mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. Each year they care for around 16,000 dogs at our nationwide network of 18 rehoming centres. No healthy dog is ever destroyed.

ALZHEIMER’S SOCIETY

Alzheimer’s Society is the only UK charity that campaigns for change, funds research to find a cure and supports people living with dementia today. Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and there’s currently no cure. Thanks to support, Alzheimer’s Society is facing dementia head on. Inspired by your voices, they’re leading the way in support, society and research.
