MILITARY VS CANCER
Registered charity 1199115 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register
We are a military founded, driven charity with extremely high standards. We provide grants to Military/Ministry of Defence personnel, past and present, including their immediate families who are suffering the effects of cancer. Military vs Cancer cannot stop cancer, we cannot control or alter its path but what we can do is step in and simplify the process to ease the pain of the families involved.

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £47,095 for the year ended 31 May 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves falling to £47,839. The trustees consider this deficit to be a planned investment phase to build capacity and are monitoring performance to ensure it is not repeated on the same scale. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves are currently considered adequate to meet immediate obligations and continue as a going concern, though rebuilding reserves is a stated priority.
