HOPE makes the journey better
We support lifechanging research.
With the help of peers, patients, partners and colleagues, The HOPE Fund pursues the best possible outcomes for all liver, pancreatic and upper gastrointestinal patients.
We are a charitable organisation that supports life changing research and education aimed at improving outcomes for patients with malignant and benign upper gastrointestinal, liver and pancreatic disease. The HOPE Fund focusses on patient centred research and educational programs in collaboration with clinicians, researchers, patients and their families.
Undergoing major surgery is a significant life event. The recovery process from treatment for upper gastrointestinal, liver and pancreatic cancer is physically and mentally demanding. For many of these diseases, outcomes remain poor. There remains an urgent need for research to improve treatments.
Prepare to be inspired!
We are currently hard at work planning our exciting upcoming events!
The Boardroom Series Breakfast was a huge success in 2023 so get ready to join us for a morning of inspiration and networking. Our Boardroom Series Breakfast brings together a diverse mix of thought leaders and innovators dedicated to sharing insights and supporting HOPE. Enjoy a delicious breakfast while connecting with fellow supporters and industry leaders.
