Our partner The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity supports the work of The Royal Marsden, a global leader in cancer research, treatment and care. Recognised internationally as one of the top cancer centres in the world, it runs more than 900 clinical trials at any one time.
Helping to improve the lives of cancer patients
1 in 2 of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime. We want to support people affected by cancer in the best possible way. That’s why Nationwide Fairer Futures has partnered with The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

How Fairer Futures has made a difference so far
We have funded 34 specialist staff who have worked on over 120 active clinical trials aiming to achieve breakthroughs in cancer treatment.
Funding breakthroughs in cancer treatment
Cancer not only affects many of us, it also disproportionately impacts those who are already disadvantaged. Cancer’s deeply unfair impact on many people’s lives is an issue that our colleagues and customers care about. We will support the development of more effective treatments for the benefit of people with cancer and their families across the UK and beyond.
Nationwide Fairer Futures funds specialist research staff at The Royal Marsden, working across clinical trials. The research aims to develop more effective, personalised treatments that save and improve the lives of cancer patients.
Continuing life-saving work
The wide-ranging research portfolio of clinical trials will aim to advance breakthroughs in cancer treatment, across all treatment types including radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapies and immunotherapy. The Royal Marsden focus on the development of personalised, precise treatment, to ensure that more patients can be treated successfully with fewer side effects.
Cancer education for Nationwide colleagues
Through the partnership, we will work with experts from The Royal Marsden School. We want to strengthen our understanding of the cancer journey from screening and diagnosis to treatment and ongoing care. This will ensure colleagues support customers affected by cancer in the best possible way.
