Our Promise

Everything we do is shaped by the people affected by sarcoma.

Our work is guided by five commitments:

  • We are shaped and driven by people affected by sarcom: we listen to and learn from the experiences of patients and families.
  • We are committed to equity: everyone affected by sarcoma should be able to access the same quality of care, information and support.
  • We collaborate to make a bigger impact: we work with healthcare professionals, researchers, organisations and policymakers to achieve more together.
  • We uphold the highest standards: we use evidence and expertise to push for better care, treatment and research.
  • We are relentlessly ambitious: sarcoma is decades behind other cancers. We will use every opportunity to close that gap.
