East Surrey Hospital Cancer Fund
Organised by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare CharityToo many of us know someone with cancer. Now, we can all help.
Story
Too many of us know someone with cancer.
Now, we can all help.
Your donation helps the cancer team at East Surrey Hospital, our teams at Crawley Hospital and the East Surrey Macmillan Cancer Centre to enhance the care, treatment, and support they provide.
Your support can directly help enhance care for people with cancer beyond what would otherwise be possible, across Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
We are on a mission to make hospital experiences better for people with cancer. Your support makes this possible.
FAMILY ROOM
In the coming months, with your support, we hope to refurbish the quiet room on Godstone Ward. Where families often visit people in hospital with cancer, or have conversations with clinical teams.
With your support, we hope to make the room much nicer, more calming space.
OTHER PROJECTS
We are working with colleagues across the cancer team on other projects to enhance care for people with cancer here, so all donations and fundraising will be hugely appreciated.
UPDATES
Your donations have recently helped to refurbish the East Surrey Chemotherapy Suite with ten comfortable new chemotherapy chairs, new decor throughout, and a new end of treatment bell. (Details below). You've also helped enhance the East Surrey Macmillan Cancer Centre garden, provide tablet computers for the chemotherapy suite, and to build a new summerhouse in the cancer centre garden.
Centre user Gill says:
The Summerhouse will be an all weather peaceful sanctuary, a restorative oasis surrounded by the garden away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital for therapy, relaxation classes or just a private chat. For many people, their skin can be very sensitive to burning from the sun during radiotherapy, so a covered area/Summerhouse surrounded by the beautiful garden here where you can go for a private chat or therapy will be a great asset to recovery
Update on the Chemotherpy Suite Refurbishment
THANK YOU - Your donations to the cancer fund have helped complete a facelift of the chemotherapy suite at East Surrey Hospital. Read more about it HERE. There's so much more the team would like to do in the chemotherapy suite, elsewhere in cancer services at SASH NHS Trust, and in the East Surrey Macmillan Cancer Centre, so every penny raised is hugely valued.
Donations, however large or small, are ring fenced for the cancer services at East Surrey Hosptial, and our sister sites across Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
