How we're run

Find out about our governance and read our Annual Reports.

Our aim has always been to put patients first, and that everyone living with life-limiting illnesses deserves to have access to the specialist help they need.

And we couldn’t do it without the continued generosity of our supporters. This is why we want to be as transparent as possible about the way we work, so you can feel secure that your donations are being used in the best possible way.

What we want to achieve as a charity

  • To excel in all we do, acting with compassion, integrity and innovation.
  • To reach everyone who needs our help.
  • To be leaders and innovators in research and education.
  • To provide sustainable healthcare that stays true to our values.
