Charitable donations
AstraZeneca provides donations to local charities that improve healthcare and/or enhance science education in the UK.
Our support under the charitable donations Programme is consistent with AstraZeneca’s mission to make a meaningful difference to patients’ health. We focus our support in the UK on charitable and not-for-profit organisations based near, or operating close to, AstraZeneca’s key sites (Alderley Park, Avlon, Brixham, Charnwood, Edinburgh, Luton, and Macclesfield).
In 2009, we provided over £100K to charitable organisations in the UK, which improve healthcare or enhance science education. Through the Charitable Donations Programme, AstraZeneca has supported charities, hospices and other not-for-profit groups, which:
- Care for patients with life-limiting illnesses (e.g. cancer) and/or provide respite for their carers
- Research various disease areas, including cancer, anaemia, respiratory disease and diabetes
- Provide education and support for patients, including those with diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and anxiety or depression
- Enrich science education for young people, for example through events, competitions or projects

Healthcare – a shared responsibility
AstraZeneca’s commitment and contribution to UK healthcare goes far beyond the development of medicines – and reflects our shared agenda with other stakeholders.
