Every two minutes, someone in the UK gets a cancer diagnosis. Thanks to brilliant advances, cancer survival rates have more than doubled over the past 40 years. But we haven't won the battle with cancer yet.
Despite medical progress, cancer still causes more than a quarter of all deaths in the UK. That's why Newcastle's Centre for Cancer is working tirelessly to deepen our understanding and develop better treatments.
Our centre is home to one of the largest group of experts in Europe. Their achievements span the entire spectrum of cancer research. But we need your support to go further.
Your donations will allow us to invest in a whole new generation of scientists. The more great minds we have working to understand cancer, the more we can do to develop life-saving treatments.

Here's your chance to support world-class research into ageing – helping us improve older people's health and quality of life.
Newcastle University has been breaking ground in this area for over 50 years, starting with pioneering dementia studies in the late 1960s.
Our vision now is to be a global leader in all aspects of ageing: including medical and care provision. However, we can't do this without your support.

Mood disorders have a devastating impact on people's lives, impacting on their lives and all of society. While mental illness accounts for around 19% of all disease, it receives only 5% of UK research funding.
Your donations will help to address this issue and help to support and improve vital research into mood disorders and their treatments.
