About WMUK

Here for everyone impacted by WM

WMUK is the only charity in the UK focused on supporting people affected by Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia (WM)

We help people with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia (WM), a rare form of blood cancer, live longer, better-quality lives. We do this by providing essential resources, information and support for patients, families, and healthcare professionals.

Our Strategy

Everything we do is led by the needs of WM patients and their families. Following extensive consultation with our community, we developed a five-year strategy based around four core pillars. As an organisation, we aim to:

Be the expert voice of WM – the most credible leading-edge source.

Harness knowledge , data and evidence to drive equitable access and improve patient outcomes.

Empower patients to live well with WM and support them throughout their WM experience.

Be financially viable organisation with a strong foundation for achieving our goal.

We rely solely on voluntary donations to fund the charity’s work. This year, we’re aiming to raise more than ever, so we can spend more more support services and research.

Our Impact

Our latest Impact Report highlights all that we’ve achieved in the past year to help shape better care and stronger support for everyone affected by WM. From expanding our nurse-led support line and organising webinars, to producing more resources than ever and advocating on behalf of WM patients.
