Story

I am raising funds for the Wish List and the dedicated Breast Cancer Unit.

The Stars Appeal does a valuable job making an enormous difference for the care and treatment the hospital is able to provide its patients. With the continued support of the local community, who give so generously , the Stars Appeal which has already funded many projects will be able to continue to make a difference across Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset. Please take a moment to view the short films which show how local patients and their families directly benefit from projects  funded by The Stars Appeal every year:
