At Cancer Research UK we value and embrace Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). Creating a diverse workforce and inclusive culture which supports people to reach their full potential is an important priority for us.
People are undoubtedly one of our greatest assets and our workforce EDI strategy will enable us to attract, retain and develop the best talent. We believe our differences make us stronger and will enable us to accelerate progress in our aim to beat cancer.
Recognising that, as a major funder of cancer research in the UK, we can have a positive impact on EDI issues within the research community, we have also developed an EDI strategy for research.
The Council and the Executive Board, supported by HR, the EDI team and a newly created champions group and seven staff networks, have set ambitious EDI objectives for our workforce. We have made tangible progress, but we recognise we have much more to do and we have a clear plan.

By being more diverse and inclusive, we will be able to attract the best talent who will work as part of a team to beat cancer together.
Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Chairman of the Council of Cancer Research UK, & Michelle Mitchell, CEO.
We are committed to supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion best practice that will benefit all of our many key stakeholders.
Our EDI news page features a range of topical and interesting news stories that set out new initiatives, developments, achievements and stakeholder engagement opportunities.
Cancer Research UK is a major funder of scientific research in the UK, we’re committed to ensuring we apply our EDI agenda to our science funding and research activities as well – both by reviewing and improving our own funding processes, policies and culture and by using our role as a funder to encourage our research community to develop an equal, diverse and inclusive research culture where all researchers can reach their potential.
Cancer Research UK as part of its wider commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is looking to set up an organisation wide EDI Champions Group. The intention is to create a diverse and representative group that includes colleagues from all directorates. The EDI Champions Group will work with the EDI Manager to champion EDI good practice across Cancer Research UK and act as a constructive critical friend.
