Each year, the Great Celebrity Bake Off is held as part of Cancer Research UK and Channel 4’s joint national fundraising campaign, Stand Up To Cancer.

Running since 2012, over £93 million has been raised to date, funding 59 clinical trials and projects involving 19,000 cancer patients across the country.

As well as encouraging donations from the public throughout the show, people at home can also get involved through various fundraising activities.
