Law Beats Cancer
Unite your community to help power progress
Nearly 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime*. All of us can support the research that will beat it.
What our Law Beats Cancer boards do
Law Beats Cancer harnesses the power of law firms, barristers' chambers, GC networks and other institutions to organise and host prestigious events to bring lawyers and clients together to network, raise awareness and raise funds to support cancer research.
Law Beats Cancer will be a long-term fundraising initiative for the legal profession on behalf of Cancer Research UK. We aim to build a long-term charity brand linking all parts of the legal profession.
Over the last 50 years, Cancer Research UK’s work has helped double cancer survival in the UK. Every pound raised supports our life-saving research.

*The mid-1980s is when cancer mortality rates started falling. If they’d remained at their peak levels, there would have been more than a million additional deaths between then and now.
