Purple Lights for pancreatic cancer is an annual campaign in the UK that takes place during November’s Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and supports the global awareness initiative, World Pancreatic Cancer Day.

This year, World Pancreatic Cancer Day takes place on 16th November 2023.

Get involved by lighting up your home or contacting a prominent landmark in your local area to light up purple, on this day, or throughout November. By doing so, you’ll be helping to put a spotlight on a disease that deserves more attention.

The campaign is supported by the following UK based charities:

Having lost both her mother and brother to pancreatic cancer, Charlotte’s neighbours joined her in lighting up their homes in purple to support Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Both members of her family were given the same survival odds – despite being diagnosed 15 years apart.

Charlotte was shocked that this devastating disease could strike two generations of the family and has been working hard with her family and friends to raise awareness and funds to take on pancreatic cancer.

In 2019, Charlotte organised for her street to be lit up purple to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer.
