Overview

Join us for a special funders’ event on Wednesday 18th March 2026 as we celebrate MCRC’s 20th Anniversary with a Charity Showcase!

About the MCRC Charity Showcase

The MCRC is inviting a range of cancer charities to a funding day at the Oglesby Cancer Research Building. This event is one of the MCRC’s 20th Anniversary events, showcasing the breadth of our work at the MCRC.

The event features a packed agenda where funders will introduce themselves and their work, explain funding calls and cycles, and help you understand their funding priorities and what their communities are saying.

This event is aimed at academics and researchers who want to diversify their research and funding streams. It will be particularly useful for:

• disease-site-specific researchers
• academics who are applying for funding

Event Highlights and Agenda

The day is structured to maximise networking and learning:

• Charity showcase talks: Hear inspiring stories and impactful presentations directly from the leaders of the charities
• Networking sessions: Speak directly with charity leads and representatives to learn more about how you can partner with them going forward.
