We’re the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. We’re determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. Our vision is a future where nobody dies of the disease.

Story

Hold Amy’s Hand and Bowel Cancer UK are teaming up to bring about significant improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of bowel cancer in younger people in the UK.

Bowel Cancer UK has been working hard to create change and improve the experiences of younger bowel cancer patients since the launch of their Never Too Young campaign in 2013. More than two thousand (2,100) people under 50 are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, the majority already at stage 3 or 4 of the disease.  We can and must stop this.

Your support will help fund much-needed new research, new clinical and policy guidance and improve diagnostic services for young people with bowel cancer.

Together, we can stop young people dying from bowel cancer.
