Pyjamas for PanCan

Every April, our incredible community pulls on their favourite PJs, cosy slippers, and dressing gowns to raise vital funds for Pancreatic Cancer Action. Together, we’re working towards a nation where pancreatic cancer is diagnosed earlier, and where more people survive.

Join us on 24th April and help us say ‘goodnight’ to pancreatic cancer. It’s simple, fun, and it saves lives.

Why Pyjamas?

Because every single day in the UK, 26 people die from pancreatic cancer. That’s more than one person every hour!

Early diagnosis is the only way to change this, and with your help, we can make that happen.

By taking part in Pyjamas for PanCan, you’ll help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms, spark vital conversations, and fund life-saving work that ensures fewer families hear the words “it’s too late”.

Get involved

Pyjamas for PanCan is perfect for:

• Workplaces
• Schools, colleges, and universities
• Community groups
• Friends and families at home

Wear your pyjamas for the day, donate what you can, and help spread the word. You’ll be raising awareness and funds that truly make a difference.

Want to go the extra mile?

Why not:

• Host a coffee morning
• Run a bake sale
• Add a raffle for extra fun and fundraising

Where your money goes

Thanks to supporters like you, last year we achieved incredible things.

Every pound you raise helps us take action against one of the UK’s deadliest cancers. Your support:

• Funds nationwide awareness campaigns
• Helps GPs and pharmacists spot the signs earlier
• Ensures patients and families receive trusted information and support when they need it most

None of this would be possible without you. 

Together, we’re giving more people the chance to survive pancreatic cancer and more time with the people they love. .

How your fundraising makes a difference

Your fundraising helps us reach people earlier, support them better, and save more lives. 

Here’s what your support could help fund:

• £500 – Could distribute our trusted, accredited patient information to hospitals and cancer centres, reaching people at a critical time

• £100 – Could provide personalised, one-to-one support calls, a lifeline for someone facing a devastating diagnosis.

• £20 – Could equip a local GP or pharmacist with expert training materials to help them spot the signs of pancreatic cancer sooner.

• £10 – Could deliver specialist information and support directly to patients and their loved ones, when they need it most.

Put on your pyjamas. Start conversations. Save lives.
