Cancer & Bowel Research Trust is a non-profit organisation which raises vital funds to support both external and internal cancer research projects, fund the purchase of equipment used at both treatment and diagnostic levels, provide patient accommodation and manage and conduct ongoing awareness and prevention campaigns into bowel cancer.

The trust raises funds through a number of initiatives, including donations from the community, corporate backing, special events and merchandise sales.

This income supports research, equipment, patient accommodation and awareness programs, which are undertaken directly under the trust's supervision or in partnership with a number of leading medical organisations.
