Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, established in 1990 by Professor Ray Donnelly, stands as the leading UK charity devoted to supporting all those affected by lung cancer. 10% of our workshop sales are donated to the foundation.
Through funding millions of pounds in essential research since our inception, we tirelessly seek methods for early detection to save lives. Our comprehensive support extends from diagnosis to end-of-life care, aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with lung cancer. We actively raise awareness, strive to prevent future cases, and challenge misconceptions surrounding the disease. Our ultimate goal is to enable those diagnosed with lung cancer to live well for as long as possible. Recognizing the varied symptoms associated with lung cancer, from common signs like persistent coughing to less recognized indicators such as clubbed fingers or back pain, we emphasize the importance of awareness and early detection. It is crucial to share any potential symptoms with your GP, as early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes, ensuring a smoother journey towards recovery.

Anyone can develop lung cancer. Men and women, young and old, smokers and non-smokers. If you have lungs, you can get the disease so it is very important everyone is aware of lung cancer signs and symptoms.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world with over 46,000 people are diagnosed with in the UK every year. There are many different causes of lung cancer.
People in certain occupations have a higher risk of developing lung cancer
Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. This means smokers and ex-smokers have an increased risk of getting lung cancer. However it is by no means the only cause; in fact 28% of lung cancer cases aren't caused by smoking.
