About WCRF UK
World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) is dedicated to cancer prevention. We do this by:
- Funding scientists in the UK and overseas to carry out research that improves our understanding about how diet, physical activity, and weight management affect cancer risk.
- Funding education programmes that tell people in the UK what they can do to reduce their risk of cancer. By giving people science-based information, we give them the chance to make informed lifestyle choices on cancer prevention.
- We were the first cancer charity to focus on the links between diet and cancer and today we continue to be at the cutting edge of cancer prevention.
Scientists estimate that about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented by eating healthily, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight. This means our cancer prevention work can save lives.
