About This Event

Macmillan Cancer Support have made the difficult decision to postpone this year's 34th Parliamentary Tug of War at Westminster Abbey until 7th June 2022.

Although the event has been postponed for this year, we would still love your support by having a look at our auction that is now live. Running until 5pm on Saturday 12 June, we have some great items and experiences available. From UK getaways, to art and fashion, there is something for everyone so please head over to www.macmillanauction.com and happy bidding!

We very much hope that you will join us next year, where we will be picking up right where we left off, to raise vital funds for people living with cancer. Here you'll find out more about the event for 2022 and how you can get involved.

In 2019 we raised enough money to fund a nurse for four years.

Sponsorship

We have a range of sponsorship opportunities available. For more information or to discuss these opportunities further, please contact Julia Halpin on 0207 840 4800 or email tugofwar@macmillan.org.uk.
