Who are we
There are around 240,000 people living with blood cancer in the UK. Together, blood cancers are the fifth most common type of cancer in adults, the most common cancer amongst children and the third most fatal cancer.
The Blood Cancer Alliance is a group of UK blood cancer charities, known as members. Our vision is to see all people with blood cancer live longer, better lives. Together, we are going to change the conversation around blood cancer in order to improve diagnosis, treatment and care. The main way we will do this is to engage with policy makers.
Our goals for blood cancer patients:
· Diagnosis is improved for all blood cancer patients
· All blood cancer patients have access to kinder, better treatments, trials and care across the UK
· Health inequalities do not influence access to diagnosis, treatment and support
Our goals for UK cancer policymaking:
· Blood cancer is recognised as a common cancer
· Blood cancer is addressed in national cancer strategies, plans and policies You can read more about our 5 year strategy here: https://www.bloodcanceralliance.org/our-fiveyear-strategy.
The members of the Blood Cancer Alliance represent patients across all 4 UK nations and we are an entirely remote working organisation. The Blood Cancer Alliance is funded by donations from the pharmaceutical industry, with an average income of £100,000 a year. We have one member of staff seconded from a member charity and one long term freelancer.
