About Beatson Cancer Charity

Beatson Cancer Charity supports people affected by cancer, every step of the way. We make the journey easier by transforming the way cancer care is funded and delivered. We provide support services, and fund specialist posts, research and innovation projects and educational initiatives.

From the hospital wards, right to the heart of the communities that The Beatson serves, we believe everyone should experience their cancer treatment with care, with love and with hope.

We provide services and funding that enhance and strengthen NHS care and enable patients and their families to be helped swiftly and compassionately.

Right now, we are funding groundbreaking research projects and supporting 20 of the world’s brightest researchers and specialist staff. We also offer services at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow and in 5 health board areas across the West of Scotland. As an independent charity, we can develop and extend our services further into the heart of Scottish communities to support more people with cancer before, during and after treatment.

Amongst patients and the wider community, we are best known for our Wellbeing Centre and specialist support at The Beatson, as well as satellite services within other hospitals.

Meanwhile, clinical and research professionals recognise us for our ongoing commitment to more effective cancer services and supporting cutting-edge cancer research and education.

All our work is made possible by our supporters. It is their generosity which allows Beatson Cancer Charity to deliver an innovative and patientfocused approach to cancer care, and change the lives of those affected by the disease every day.
