Supporting those affected by a cancer diagnosis and navigating the heartbreak of grief and loss.

As a grant-giving charity, the funds we raise provide vital support to organisations making a real difference. These include St Joseph's Hospice, The Loss Foundation, Dragon Fly, Cancer is a Drag, and lots more.​

 

Put simply, our mission is to ‘kick cancer in the d**k’.


Our way of fundraising is also a little bit different... Dazzling live cabaret and burlesque shows, and our iconic online charity auctions help us raise money for cancer support charities across the UK. We celebrate the vibrancy of life while standing up to cancer.
