About the organisation

We are a relatively young charity that supports a strong, caring and mutually-supportive community. We are staffed by a growing team managed by a board of trustees (comprising a balanced mix of those with personal experience of sarcoma and those that don't), and supported by experts in the sarcoma field.

Sarcoma UK was founded by Roger Wilson CBE, a sarcoma patient. Read Roger's insight into the Quality Standard and how it will help make things better for patients.

We receive no government funding and rely solely on generous voluntary donations and the energy and imagination of our tireless fundraisers.

We keep our administration and running costs to a minimum which means that more of your money goes directly to funding vital research.
