This December, with your incredible generosity, we are determined to continue to provide our vital services, such as our in-demand driving service for people living with cancer.
The pandemic shut the service down from March 2020 for 12 months, but in 2019, we completed 849 return journeys for local cancer patients who were unable to travel independently to hospital.
We need your support to ensure this service can continue into 2022 as referrals continue to rise.
If you have 5 minutes spare today, I urge you to read Anne's story and to consider donating a gift between £20 - £40.
Martin not only provides me with reliable transport but also offers me companionship during the journey. I look forward to the drive now; it helps me to relax!
A donation of just £19.80 would cover a 44-mile journey a round trip from Ballynahinch to the Ulster Hospital, so a cancer patient can attend their appointment
A donation of £29.70 would cover a 66-mile journey the equivalent of a return journey from Newcastle to the City Hospital
A donation of £39.60 would cover an 88-mile journey the equivalent of 2 return journeys from Whitehead to the City Hospital
Driving Volunteer, Martin Morrison , is one of 22 volunteer drivers for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland. He provides essential transport for local cancer patients to and from their cancer specific appointments.
What I find most rewarding is being able to assist the patients and their families, during a stressful time, with a service that takes some of the worry about getting to and from hospital appointments. This service takes away the need for them to book private taxis or rely on public transport.
