Our Mission

Finding more effective ways to detect and treat cancer

The funds donated to Sir Bobby’s Foundation come courtesy of the generosity of thousands of committed community fundraisers, from legacies, individual donors, businesses, and Trusts and Foundations.

They directly benefit cancer patients from across the North East, North Cumbria and North Yorkshire and contribute significantly to international research into the disease.

Sir Bobby’s story

Raise vital funds for our charity

The foundation raises funds in many different ways.

Thousands of people have donated to our campaigns for many different reasons, but they all have one goal in common, to improve care and treatment for the people of the North East, north Cumbria and North Yorkshire living with cancer.

If you’re keen to support us, talk to our experts who can advise you on the best way of contributing.
