A year ago today His Majesty The King shared his cancer diagnosis with the world, causing a four-year high in people visiting our website for cancer information and support.

There are almost 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK and there are unacceptable gaps in the care that people are getting. His Majesty’s openness has helped to raise awareness of cancer and encouraged people to get the vital support that is right for them, at a time when we know that many need it more than ever.

We’re incredibly grateful to King Charles lll for being patron of Macmillan and for His Majesty’s continued support over the last 12 months in particular.

What better time to reflect on the state of cancer care in the UK than #WorldCancerDay?

There’s almost 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK. That’s millions of lives turned upside down, every day, in so many ways. And more and more will struggle to access the care they need because of who they are, or where they live.

Better cancer care is possible.

World Cancer Day is a big one for us; it’s an opportunity to highlight the voices and experiences of people living with cancer, as well as setting out our mission to transform cancer care for everyone, now and for the future.

Stay tuned for some exciting news on how we’re marking World Cancer Day today…💚
