Our vision and mission
We won’t stop until we achieve our vision – for everyone with pancreatic cancer to live long and well. Read our five-year strategy.
We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease. Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So, we do more.
We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.
We won’t stop until we achieve our vision – for everyone with pancreatic cancer to live long and well. Read our five-year strategy.
Our people make all of this possible – an incredible community of staff, volunteers and supporters. Amazing people, just like you.
At Pancreatic Cancer UK, we do not feel that inequalities or discrimination should exist anywhere, and we actively and positively want to play a part in tackling this by being an organisation where diversity is embraced, celebrated and welcomed.
We’re here to provide journalists with up-to-the-minute information, comments and statistics about pancreatic cancer, our work and activities – as quickly as possible.
