BACUP is Britain's leading cancer information and support charity.

We help people with cancer, their families, their friends and their physicians by providing information, counselling and support whenever they need it - through our publications, over the phone and face-to-face.

No one else does what we do. To the people who turn to us, we are a vital resource at a time of great need. BACUP also works closely with the government, health authorities and health professionals to promote total patient care, an approach that takes the information and psychosocial needs of patients and their relatives into account.

"If one more person tells me how brave I am, I'm going to scream" - BACUP listens. To cancer patients, to their families and friends, and to their professional carers.
