MyProjects is a unique way to support Cancer Research UK's life-saving work. It allows you to:

• choose which area of our work you want to support.
• follow the developments of the work you’ve helped to fund.

Find out more about MyProjects or take a look at our current projects.

The MyProjects website has just been launched and it is currently a beta version, which means we’re still working on developing and improve the website.

If you have ideas or suggestions for the MyProjects website, we’d like to hear from you.

MyProjects is open to everyone. All you need is a credit or debit card to make a donation to support Cancer Research UK’s work.

Yes. The money you donate goes to fund the project you have selected.

The donation you made will go to support the work you have chosen. We stop accepting donations to MyProjects projects when they reach their fundraising target or their expiry date.

This way we can regularly add new projects to MyProjects and you can continue to support a wide range of our work.

Setting up your own Giving Group allows you to get your family and friends involved and track how much money you have donated together to the project. By adding a personal message you can tell everyone why you think this project is important and why you want your friends to get involved.

You can invite friends and family to support your Giving Group by clicking "Spread the Word" in the "My Tools" section of your profile page, or clicking "Send an Invite" from the Group page.

You can pledge any future donations to a new project by logging in to the ‘MyProfile’ area in MyProjects and clicking on the ‘Edit My Group’ option. Any new donations will support your new chosen project. Any donations made before the change will still fund the original project but will still show in your group totaliser.

We believe that a strong online community that recruits new members has the ability to reach the project’s fundraising target. We encourage MyProjects supporters to be active members of the project network and invite new people to take part.

If a project meets its expiry date but hasn’t met its fundraising target, Cancer Research UK will still fund the project through other means.

The projects on the MyProjects website represent only a part of Cancer Research UK’s work. We aim to select the projects that our supporters want to help to fund.

If there is a project that you would like to support but it is not currently featured on MyProjects, please let us know.

MyProjects offers you a more personalised way to give to Cancer Research UK. It allows you to donate to specific projects and give in a way that is most relevant to you.

Every single donation is valuable and without all of our supporters we could not raise the money we need to fund our vital research. Be part of MyProjects and find a project you want to help make happen.

Use the "tell a friend" email on our website. It’s a quick and easy way to tell everyone about the great work you are supporting and invite others to join MyProjects.

Yes, we give our supporters the option to remain anonymous. You need to create a profile in order to make a donation, but you can choose what information you want to display or keep private.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and use a secure server when you make a donation on our website. To find out more, read our privacy statement.

Go to the log in page and click on the "forgotten password?" link. Enter your email address and we will send you an email with a link to reset your password.

You can edit your profile details when you log in to your profile page.

Yes. We're always looking for helpful and reliable volunteers, no matter how much or how little time you're able to spare. There are lots of ways how you can get involved in your local community. Take a look at the volunteering opportunities near you.

The Government operates a scheme called Gift Aid that allows charities to claim 28p for every pound donated.

So if you donated £100 to Cancer Research UK, it means that you’ll actually be giving us £128!

Giving under Gift Aid means that so much more money can be raised with relatively little effort - for further information about the Gift Aid scheme.

We try to keep you updated in as many ways as possible. Members of the project teams visit the website frequently to review comments and keep supporters updated about developments.

Depending on the project, you could be reading a scientist’s blog about the research or watch video clips to gain real insight into the work that you have helped to fund.

Yes. All donations are made online and you will receive a confirmation email of your donation.

It is in the best interest of our work if legacy gifts are made to Cancer Research UK and not given specifically to MyProjects.

It is not possible to know what our research projects will look like in the future, when a Will becomes effective. If there are binding conditions attached to a legacy which we cannot satisfy, Cancer Research UK may not be able to benefit from the legacy.

If you have any questions about the gift you wish to make, please contact our Legacy Administration Department on 020 7438 5141 or legacy.administration@cancer.org.uk

All new drugs and treatments have to be thoroughly tested before they are licensed and available for patients. Years of research and development take place before a potential drug is ready to go through clinical trials. Projects featured on the MyProjects site are at different stages in this process.

The research we carry out increases our understanding of cancer and directs future research. Not all of our research will lead directly to a treatment. Find out more about the process of testing and approving new drugs.
