Our achievements in 2019

RESEARCH

We have increased the number of research projects we are funding by 175% and more than doubled our grant expenditure. FUNDRAISING

We have invested in new income streams to diversify our fundraising in addition to launching our own innovative event, Race for Science.

Brand Identity Last December, we launched a brand new website and updated our brand identity.

Diversify Income This year we created our own fundraising event and hired a Head of Major Gifts and a Trust and Foundations Manager to tap into these income streams.

Continue funding Last year we continued to fund our four outstanding research research projects, injecting £719k into prostate cancer research in 2018/19.

Competitive grant- This July we finished our first open making process competitive grant round, which received 34 strong applications from diverse backgrounds and locations.

Fund more research This year we have pledged to fund a further 7 research projects, totalling £2.3m, and more than doubling our research spend. These range from large grants to pilot projects to established career researchers.

Monitoring and Results from our quinquennial review of evaluation our current scientists were received in October 2019, completing our commitment to track research outcomes and progress.

Future 5

In June 2018, we launched our Future5 campaign for supporter engagement. We successfully held a series of patron led events and the Stephen and Martin Appeal on Radio 4 (Stephen Fry and Martin Dallison).

Race for Science Our debut Race for Science took place in April 2019, which raised valuable funds for the charity and achieved a participant satisfaction rating of 9.25/10.
