It really is difficult to overstate the difference donations make here at Velindre Cancer Centre, but the benefits are invaluable.
Our History
Velindre Cancer Charity was relaunched in 2007 with humble beginnings of community focussed fundraising and a new team of passionate fundraisers to drive it forward.
The Charity experienced its first boost in profile when Welsh Rugby Legend, Jonathan Davies OBE became involved as Charity Patron alongside fellow rugby legend, Martyn Williams and Manic Street Preachers front man, James Dean Bradfield. Each Patron had their own personal connection with the Cancer Centre and were integral in inspiring others to join them in gaining #VictoryOverCancer and putting this small, Welsh charity on the map.
In 2008, Jonathan accepted the title of President and inspired a nation of supporters who would make up the most incredible community of dedicated donors and fundraisers.
Our Mission
We provide support to Velindre NHS Trust’s provision to world class research-led treatment, care and support for patients and families affected by cancer.

The Charity campaigns to raise awareness and vital funds that are invested in promoting Quality, Care and Excellence in all services provided by Velindre NHS Trust.
