Someone in the UK is diagnosed with bowel cancer every 12 minutes, and each of them needs care and support at every step. This campaign will help ensure that nobody faces bowel cancer alone. The funds raised will support our services, helping us to be there with reassurance and connection.

Every day 120 people in the UK are given the devastating news that they have bowel cancer. That diagnosis, and the decisions and treatments that follow, bring uncertainty, waiting, and worry. For people facing symptoms, scans, treatment, or the absence of someone they love, it can feel like life is standing still while the world goes on as normal. That’s why it’s so important that we’re here — a steady, supportive and trustworthy presence when people need it most.
We provide specialist support to help with the unique situations that come with bowel cancer treatment and diagnosis. These services include our Ask the Nurse service which connects patients with colorectal cancer nurses who have specialist knowledge of the situations and concerns faced every day by patients, and our Peer Support Line and online communities which connect people to those who can truly relate to the challenges of bowel cancer, because they have been there themselves.
