Celebrating 45 years as Norfolk’s cancer charity
As a local cancer charity, Big C is here to support anyone in Norfolk and surrounding counties affected by cancer, from diagnosis and treatment through to life beyond cancer. We support anyone that needs us including those with a cancer diagnosis, their family and loved ones. Big C provides outstanding holistic support, aiming to improve lives through services at the charity’s warm and welcoming support centres in Norwich (NNUH and City), Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn. Alternatively, support is offered via video chat or by telephone through Big C’s Virtual Support Centre. All services are free of charge, including person-centred counselling, complementary treatments, group support, welfare guidance, exercise and nutrition programmes and bereavement support. A friendly welcome and listening ear are guaranteed at Big C.
Big C has raised over £45 million to fund its growing services, £25 million in the past nine years alone. The charity greatly benefits from the donations raised by its loyal community supporters, local businesses, legacies and grants from community funds and trusts. Income is also generated via 11 charity shops across the region.
Big C is proud to invest in ground-breaking projects that take place at the Norwich Research Park. Carried out by leading scientists in their field, the research is making a local, national and international difference in the fight against cancer, now and for the future.
2025 sees Big C reach its 45th birthday, having been founded in Norfolk in 1980.
“I really wouldn’t believe it was possible, but it has, and is, changing lives. Sometimes I think we all have a purpose in this world, and I wonder whether I was ill to actually create Big C as it is today.”
