Why take part in Dry July?

By signing up for a Dry July, you can help us improve the comfort and wellbeing of people affected by cancer.

We help to provide things that may not be front of mind following a cancer diagnosis; getting to and from an appointment, somewhere to stay close to treatment, free Wi-Fi access in treatment areas, and even a comfy chair. We also help reduce patient anxiety by funding free services such as complementary therapies, wellness programs, and wig libraries.

Important Note

Dry July is a fundraising campaign aimed at challenging social drinkers to change their habits for a month and make some healthy lifestyle changes.

We advise heavy drinkers or people dependent on alcohol to speak with their GP before signing up to Dry July.
