Thanks to the fabulous support of our Kiltwalkers, Beatson Cancer Charity can continue their valuable work, investing in services, staff, research and education to provide a better future for those affected by cancer. The charity aims to make the journey easier by transforming the way patients are cared for and the way treatment is funded. We believe no-one should face cancer on their own and we are there for patients and their families whenever they need us.

Beatson Cancer Charity strives to enhance cancer patients’ sense of wellbeing; to help them cope with the emotional distress a cancer diagnosis brings, by providing practical and emotional support. Alongside these services, they fund world class research and clinical innovation that has the potential to save lives in the west of Scotland and beyond.

Amongst patients and the wider community, Beatson Cancer Charity are best known for their award-winning Wellbeing Centre and specialist support at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and across hospitals in five health boards in the west of Scotland. Meanwhile, clinical and research professionals recognise their ongoing commitment to providing more effective wellbeing and medical services, funding additional specialist staff and supporting world-leading cancer research and education.
