Leukaemia Care
About This Funder
Leukaemia Care, a UK national blood cancer support charity founded in 1969 by parents of leukaemia patients, delivers person-centred emotional, practical, and informational support to those affected by blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, and MPNs. Its mission emphasises early diagnosis (#SpotLeukaemia campaign), access to treatments and reliable information, patient empowerment, and advocacy for NHS improvements, extending aid to patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals through helplines, support groups, factsheets, forums, welfare signposting, and professional training.
The charity offers small, one-off discretionary grants via its Cost of Living Fund exclusively to individuals aged 18+ diagnosed with eligible blood cancers—or applicants on their behalf—for essential hardship relief like hospital travel, utility bills, or food vouchers, complementing its core services rather than broad grant-making.
Eligibility requires UK residency, a consultant's letter confirming diagnosis, and acute needs linked to treatment; one grant per family, non-retrospective. Applications use an online form (phone assistance available), assessed rolling on a first-come, first-served basis until annual funds deplete, with decisions within 10 working days.
Leukaemia Care excludes organisational projects, core costs, capital items, non-blood cancer causes, and unsolicited charity applications, distinguishing itself through lived-experience origins, national CARE Teams in 25+ locations, evidence-based holistic support blending direct aid, education, and policy influence for equitable blood cancer care.
