Core IS Ltd is proud to support Cancer Research Charities
Cancer affects about 1 in 4 people at some point during their lives, and that includes Core IS staff and their families. In 2003 we decided we wanted to help win the fight against this indiscriminate disease, and began to raise funds for Cancer Research Charities. Sadly, one of our staff died from bone cancer in December 2004.
We have been raising money for Cancer Research Charities by donating money for each PRINCE2 training course we sell. We are proud to be able to pay thousands of pounds to Cancer Research, knowing that the money will be used to help find cures.
Please do whatever you can to support Cancer Research - every little bit helps. |

Cancer Research Charities dedicate their research to the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer.
Their vision is to conquer cancer through world-class research, aiming to control the disease within two generations. Cancer Research supports the work of over 3,000 scientists, doctors and nurses working across the UK. Their annual scientific spend is more than £213 million, which is raised almost entirely through public donations.
What Cancer Research Charities aim to do
Cancer Research Charities will work alone and in partnership with others to achieve the following objectives:
1. To carry out world-class research into the biology and causes of cancer
Cancer is a highly complex disease that is still only partly understood. Only through a better understanding of the disease will the improved treatments, diagnostics and prevention strategies of the future be developed.
2. To develop effective treatments and improve the quality of life for cancer patients
Research will be carried out to accelerate cancer cure rates, aiming to translate our understanding of the disease into effective treatments. Research will also be directed at improving diagnosis of cancer, and at prolonging the life and improving the quality of life of those patients whose disease cannot be cured.
3. To reduce the number of people getting cancer
Research will be carried out into the influence of lifestyle, individual risk, environment and interventions such as vaccination on cancer, and into how people can change their behaviours to reduce their risk of the disease. We will make the wider public aware of cancer risk factors and the options available to them to reduce that risk.
4. To provide authoritative information on cancer
Cancer Research Charities will provide authoritative cancer information to the public and promote the best treatments and prevention strategies to governments, commercial organisations, those responsible for cancer care, and the media.
