Major donors
A major gift to Leukaemia UK can make a huge impact to those living with this disease and other blood cancers.
You will be supporting ground-breaking research that accelerates the development of kinder, more effective treatments for leukaemia. Our work focuses on improving and saving lives, through research, awareness and advocacy.
Leukaemia doesn’t discriminate.
It affects people of all ages – from tiny infants to beloved grandparents. More people are living longer with leukaemia. But, despite decades of progress, only half of leukaemia patients live longer than five years after their diagnosis.
At Leukaemia UK, we believe research has the power to stop leukaemia devastating lives – but more research is needed!
What we do:
We fund innovative research to discover new, more effective life-saving treatments for leukaemia.
We drive progress in awareness and diagnosis of leukaemia to improve survival.
We advocate that every leukaemia patient has access to the best available therapies.
A major gift will help us fund more work.
By accelerating the progress of our research, we can transform the lives of people affected by leukaemia – both today and in the future.

If you are a UK tax-payer, completing this Gift Aid declaration could enable Leukaemia UK to increase your gift by an additional 25%. Please note that you must have paid income tax on the amount of Gift Aid claimed in the tax year you made your donation.
Tax relief for higher rate taxpayers
If you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim back the difference between higher rate and basic rate tax on the value of your donation. For a 40% rate taxpayer, that means for every £1 you donate, you can claim back 25p in tax relief.
