The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation works towards defeating lung cancer through research, campaigning and education. They provide practical and emotional support for patients and all those affected by lung cancer and smoking. They enable children and young people to make informed decisions about smoking and the tobacco industry.

We have supported with this organisation since 2003.

During 2007:

  • We gave a Medical Fellowship donation of £2,000 for the National Clean Air Award Update and Re-launch 
  • We gave a Medical Fellowship donation of £5,000 for the Evaluation of the Lung Health Workplace Project Pilot 

Our funding represents less than 1 per cent of their income overall.
