Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. We have discovered new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer that together have saved millions of lives across the world.
We have been at the heart of the progress that has already seen survival rates double in the last 30 years. But one in three of us will still get cancer at some point. Our groundbreaking work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people will survive.
We provide life-changing information to anyone affected by cancer. We run awareness initiatives so that cancer can be detected early and help people reduce their risk of the disease. And our campaigning and lobbying keeps cancer at the top of the political agenda. Since we receive no government funding for our research, our supporters are crucial if we are to continue to make real progress against this disease.
Help Greenpeace protect our forests. Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land as well as millions of people who depend on them for their survival, they still form some of the most diverse ecosystems known to science and are vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.
But these ancient forests are under threat. A staggering 80 per cent have already been either destroyed or degraded, and half of that has been in the last 30 years. Countless species face extinction and entire communities are being displaced. If current rates of deforestation continue, some of the last areas of ancient forest could be lost within our lifetimes, but we believe this destruction can be stopped.
We are working to protect these forests and the plants, animals and peoples that depend on them. But we can only do so with your help.

World Vision's Canadian Programs department hopes to inspire positive change among impoverished Canadians by partnering with churches, educational institutions, and other non-profit organizations.
