Making it Happen

The money you raise helps us do so much. Without you we couldn't have achieved:

• The building of the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Research Centre which opened in 1999 at a cost of £2 million. The Cancer Charity continues on a year by year basis to provide the running costs and funding of certain core members of staff. Your donations also contribute to a large and vital number of research projects covering all types of cancer.

• A brand new £1 million Chemotherapy Suite here at Weston Park Hospital. This was needed to improve facilities which had become crowed and outdated because of the improvements and increased numbers of patients being treated with chemotherapy.

• A Radiotherapy Department which is a leading national centre and one of the best equipped in the country.

• Funding of the Cancer Information and Support Centre - a new drop-in centre offering patients, their families and carers extra help and support dealing with cancer.

• Support of the Teenage Cancer Unit at Weston Park Hospital,which provides a specialised unit for patients aged 16 to 25.
