Our Story

A Commitment From The Beginning

Making Every Penny Count

At Topic of Cancer, we’re proud to be a volunteer-led charity with a single, powerful mission: to transform the future of cancer care through cutting-edge immunotherapy research and vital patient support. Unlike many larger charities, we ensure that 99% of every donation goes directly to the work that matters most – funding life-changing research and providing support to those affected by cancer.

Our story began with a desire to make a difference and a commitment to ensuring every penny has a meaningful impact. By harnessing the potential of immunotherapy – a groundbreaking treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer—we’re working to revolutionise cancer care. Alongside this, our initiatives like ToC Fit and ToC Voices offer much-needed support to patients, helping them thrive during and after treatment.

Led by passionate volunteers, Topic of Cancer is proof that a small charity can make a big difference. Together with our incredible supporters, we’re turning donations into hope and creating a future where cancer is no longer a life sentence.

Celebrating Milestones, Transforming Lives

The Impact We’ve Made Together

Since our founding, Topic of Cancer has achieved incredible milestones thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, researchers, and generous supporters. Together, we’re creating real change in the fight against cancer. Here are just a few of the ways your support has made a difference:

Advancing Immunotherapy Research

Your donations have directly funded groundbreaking immunotherapy studies, helping to develop treatments that empower the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.

Fundraising Milestones

Through the generosity of our supporters, we successfully raised £97,000 to purchase a Leica Bond RX Processing Module. This advanced equipment accelerates tissue staining processes, enabling our researchers to conduct more efficient and detailed analyses, ultimately advancing our understanding of cancer and improving treatment strategies.

Supporting Cancer Patients

Programs like ToC Fit, ToC Voices, and Cancer Chat Café have provided physical, emotional, and social support to patients and their families, helping them navigate their journey with strength and confidence.

Building a Community of Hope

Through our events, support groups, and partnerships, we’ve fostered a network of people united by a shared goal—to make cancer history.

Recognition for Excellence

Our work has earned prestigious recognition, including being named Cancer Immunotherapy Support Charity of the Year. Most recently, we were honoured by a royal visit to our cancer immunotherapy labs, highlighting the significance of our research and its potential to transform lives.
