Researching areas others don't

Only around 5% of cancer research spending in the UK is on care.

DCC provides up to £1m annually for research into cancer care & support.

Care centres that go beyond medical treatment

Over a quarter of people living with cancer receive no support other than treatment.

DCC's centres provide a range of care, comfort & support that goes beyond just treatment
