Description
Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC) is the only organisation in New Zealand dedicated to supporting patients and their families living with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood conditions.
Since 1977, our work has been made possible through our fundraising events and the generous support we receive from individuals, companies, trusts and grants. We do not receive government funding.
LBC manages the New Zealand Bone Marrow Donor Registry, which works towards finding matched volunteer donors from New Zealand or overseas for New Zealand patients who need a bone marrow or stem cell transplant and who do not have a family donor. The registry maintains information on New Zealand donors and has access to a worldwide database of over 18 million donors.
Patient Support
LBC's Support Services provide personalised support programmes for patients and their families. This can include regular visits, phone or email contact, as well as face to face education and support programmes and an online information forum. We also provide a toll free number for advice, empathy and support.
Research
Research plays a critical role in building a greater understanding of blood cancers and conditions. LBC supports and funds investigation into these conditions. Improved treatments for patients can lead to increased survival rates.
Information
We provide vital information to patients, families, health professionals and the community to improve understanding about blood cancers and conditions.
Awareness
We work to increase public knowledge of blood cancers and conditions. This is achieved through specifically focused campaigns for the public, health professionals and health agencies.
Advocacy
We represent the needs of patients and their families to the government, related agencies and other relevant organisations.
