Charles Wilson was a Chief Executive in the Grocery Industry, and his partner Rowena Olegario is an academic. Together, their philanthropy, amongst many other gifts, has supported numerous cancer-related projects. 

Charles’ personal experience of throat cancer, his approach to philanthropy and his success in business make him an excellent Founding Patron of Cancer Awareness Trust. The support from Charles has ensured growth in team capacity over the past six months and will now see us take a big step forward in our partnerships and engagement of people living with cancer in the design of our global platform.

Charles comments: “Sir Chris Evans recognised that good information is critical in helping deal with cancer. Cancer Platform will provide people with trusted information and it will  make a huge difference. It is a privilege to support CAT and witness the progress they are making with Cancer Platform.”
