How your money helps
Every hour of every day one person in the UK is diagnosed with lymphatic cancer.
There are over 10,500 new cases of lymphoma in the UK each year. It is the most common cancer in the 15-30 age group and the 6th most common cancer overall. Despite this incidence awareness of lymphoma is low and many patients first hear of it on diagnosis, making them feel extremely isolated.
We want to reach as many of these people as possible to help them get the information and support they need. There are many ways in which you can get involved with the Lymphoma Association and make a significant difference to those affected by lymphatic cancer.
We rely totally on voluntary donations so your support is crucial in helping us to run our services.
- £2 could fund a copy of our award winning ''Lymphomas'' booklet providing invaluable information and reassurance to someone newly diagnosed
- £5 could enable us to set up a ''buddy'' Link - a link via phone or email from a patient/relative/carer/friend to a ''buddy'' (an individual who supports another by sharing their own similar experience)
- £5.50 could fund an information pack giving a newly diagnosed patient details on the support they can get from the Lymphoma Association and background information on the illness
- £15 could fund a call to the helpline from someone who may be frightened or panicked, or who is desperate to understand more about their illness
- £20 could enable a patient support officer (PSO) to answer an email query that empowers someone with the more in-depth knowledge they need
- £20 could enable a patient support officer (PSO) to liaise with patients in our online chat room giving them the chance to ask questions anonymously
- £30 could fund a hospital professional pack sent out to medical professionals who may be new in post and need to understand how the Lymphoma Association can support their patients
- £150 could fund annual training and ongoing guidance for a ''buddy''
- £400 could pay for the running of a Lymphoma Association support group made up of individuals who are, or have been, affected in some way by lymphoma; whether patient, family member, friend or carer
