Welcome to this first Lymphoma Matters of our 40th anniversary year. Whilst we’ve come a long way since we were founded by a small group of people affected by lymphoma, we have kept our close community at the heart of what we do. And we are ambitious to do even more, to raise awareness, provide quality services and advocate for better treatment and care.

You may be interested in taking part in the Lymphoma Coalition Global Patient Survey which is conducted every two years. It is open until the end of March and by taking part you can help drive change and shape support and care in our community. You can find out more about it, and how to get involved, on page 4.

We have a busy year ahead and some great events and activities in the calendar. These include our biggest ever Bridges of London event, new modules for our Preparing for Treatment and Lymphoma Essentials services, and more new support meetings, to name just a few. And we are only able to do this with the support of our community.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us do more for people affected by lymphoma over 40 years, including the growing number of people who remember us in their Wills. We are so grateful for your and our community’s support.
