Fundraising through Digital
How clicktivists, slacktivists and hacktivists are helping us beat cancer sooner
Michael Docherty, Digital & Strategic Marketing Planning Director, Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Our vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Our work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer has helped double UK survival rates in the last forty years. Our ambition is to accelerate that progress so we see at least 3 in 4 patients survive cancer by 2034; the digital revolution playing an important role in helping us get us there.
We will explore the work we’re doing to increase our fundraising impact through digital, how we’re opening up our research for the digital world to engage with, and what might come next!
The talk will be followed by a drinks reception. Free and all welcome, please register on our Eventbrite page.
