Lymphoma Action is the UK’s only charity dedicated to lymphoma, the fifth most common cancer in the UK, and the most common among young people aged 15 to 24. We’ve been providing in-depth, expert information and a wide range of support for over 35 years, helping thousands of people affected by lymphoma. Our work drives improvements in the diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare of lymphoma. We’re here for you.

Every donation to Lymphoma Action makes a difference to people affected by lymphoma.
