leukaemiacare.org.ukAbout Leukaemia Care
Leukaemia Care is a UK national blood cancer support charity founded in 1969 by parents of leukaemia patients. It 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, access to treatments, patient empowerment, and advocacy for NHS improvements. The charity supports patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals through helplines, support groups, factsheets, and welfare signposting. As part of this holistic approach, it also offers small, one-off discretionary grants for essential hardship relief, complementing its core services.
What Leukaemia Care funds
They fund essential hardship relief for individuals diagnosed with blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, and MPNs. Grants can be used for hospital travel, utility bills, or food vouchers. The charity supports people across the UK, focusing on acute needs linked to treatment. This grant-making is part of a wider support package that includes direct aid, education, and advocacy for equitable blood cancer care.
Who can apply
Individual patients aged 18 and over with a confirmed diagnosis of an eligible blood cancer are eligible. Applicants must be UK residents and have acute hardship arising from their treatment. One grant per family is available. The charity does not accept applications from organisations or for projects; support is directed solely to individuals.

They do not fund organisational projects, core costs, capital items, or causes unrelated to blood cancers. Unsolicited applications from charities are not considered. Multiple grants per family are not offered, and grants are not retrospective.
