Story

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Crisis Appeal over the past 8 weeks, we are so grateful for all your support.

At the halfway point our trustees met and agreed that our charity has a future. They will meet again at the end of this week after which time we will be able to share another update with you about our future plans.

Every penny we receive enables us to continue to help local people living with cancer, so please continue to donate if you can.

Last year weve seen a 30% increase in demand for our services. We have also been hit by a 65% reduction in people leaving a gift in their will and the decline in the high street which has seen our shop sales fall by 15%. A large, previously notified gift has been delayed and taken together these factors have tipped the charity into a crisis situation.

What your donation could pay for -

£40 could provide a free counselling session to help someone through the emotional impact of cancer.

£100 could provide two group tai chi sessions to help improve well-being and pain management.

£400 could look after a person through their journey with us.

£3225 could cover the cost of running all our cancer support services for a full day.
