Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF)’s vision is that every family affected by blood cancers and blood disorders across Devon receives compassionate, tailored support. ELF led the fundraising efforts to create the Haematology Centre in Exeter, which opened in 2003, and continues to support families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. As well as ongoing support for the Centre, ELF provides services including transport, accommodation, counselling, aromatherapy, financial support, and legal services.

Blood cancer can affect anybody of any age. Treatment for blood cancer often requires lengthy procedures meaning days, weeks, or months at a time in and out of hospital and, in a lot of cases, years of follow up appointments. Over 3,000 people will be diagnosed with a haematological cancer this year in the Southwest. Your support can make a real difference to help people whose life has been turned upside down by a blood cancer diagnosis.
