Corporate Social Responsibility

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the leading UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease.

Since 1990, when the charity was set up by Professor Ray Donnelly, they have funded millions of pounds of essential lung cancer research, looking for ways to detect the disease as early as possible and save lives.

The charity supports everyone affected by lung cancer – from diagnosis, through treatment, living with the disease and end of life care. They raise awareness, prevent future generations from getting it and challenge the misconceptions of lung cancer. They do all this so those diagnosed can live well with lung cancer for as long as possible.

“We are excited to work in collaboration with Siemens Healthineers and look forward to working on many exciting fundraising events, initiatives and awareness campaigns. This will enable us to continue supporting individuals and their families living with lung cancer requiring our Nurse care helpline. Together we can - and will - save lives."

Every 14 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. Founded in 2003, Cure Leukaemia funds the Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP) network across the UK. Celebrating its 20th birthday in 2023, the number of centres that Cure Leukaemia funds from Glasgow to Southampton has expanded from 12 to 15. The network funds specialist research nurses who facilitate pioneering clinical trials to provide potentially life-saving treatments to people who have exhausted traditional medical routes and subsequently, the trials develop new treatment combinations that affect how blood cancer is treated for the better across the globe.

Cure Leukaemia is the exclusive UK charity partner of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and facilitate two cycling challenges using these events as inspiration, The Tour 21 and The Route where amateur cyclists ride the routes a week/day ahead of the professional riders/teams. In addition, Cure Leukaemia facilitate further cycling events with The Tour of the TAP and London 2 Paris along with a running Tour of the TAP variation and mixed and women’s only football events held at England football’s training base, St. George’s Park in the Copa del Cure Leukaemia tournaments which forms part of the larger, FINISH IT! campaign that aims to fund a new trials network focused on paediatric leukaemia treatment.

“We are thrilled to be working in partnership with Siemens Healthineers and I am delighted to see how this relationship has developed in recent years with the Siemens Healthineers team engaging with the charity in many ways including our annual London 2 Paris cycle, with shirt and start/finish line sponsorship and a team of 17 riders, plus our 'Your 14' campaign and hearing from our Patron, Geoff Thomas MBE at the head office. The team at Siemens Healthineers are making a fantastic contribution to support the TAP network.”
