Introduction
Cancer Care Parcel is a limited company established with a unique purpose: to serve and support the cancer community. Although incorporated as a limited company, our operating model is fundamentally not-for-profit. We are dedicated to ensuring that all financial surpluses are reinvested back into the business to further our mission rather than being distributed as dividends.
