Description
Our staff and volunteers work hard to make sure that everyone affected by lymphoma/CLL in the UK has the best possible information, support, treatment and care. To achieve this, we work closely with our Trustees and our Medical Advisory Panel.
Together we help people with lymphoma/CLL and their families by providing reliable information and the right support. We support doctors and nurses so that they can provide the best care possible to people with lymphoma/CLL. We raise awareness and make sure that lymphoma/CLL is not forgotten by government and policymakers. We support the thousands of fundraisers and volunteers who make our work possible.
