Bowel Research UK

Who we are

Bowel Research UK is funding life-changing research into bowel cancer and other bowel diseases.

Every year over 16,000 people die from bowel cancer in the UK and over a million suffer from bowel disease.

By researching cutting edge treatments and investing in the best science, we’re saving and improving people’s lives

Bowel Research UK was founded in 2020 following a merger between two well-respected charities: Bowel & Cancer Research and Bowel Disease Research Foundation (BDRF). 

We’re the UK’s leading specialist bowel cancer and bowel disease research charity and our research is saving and improving lives.
