Story

Imagine being given news that will change not only your life but the lives of the people you love?

Imagine being given news which means you'll need to spend countless hours travelling to and from hospital to receive treatment in the hope it will save your life?

Every month, 284 people in Swindon and Wiltshire are given a diagnosis of cancer at Great Western Hospital.  Our cancer patients have to make the journey to Oxford, Bath or Cheltenham to receive their radiotherapy treatment.

We want to change this once and for all and give people life saving radiotherapy treatment right here in Swindon.  This is your chance to support the biggest improvement in cancer care in Swindon in a generation.

Working with Oxford University Hospitals, who will run the service, the money raised from this appeal will enable us to purchase key clinical equipment for the new Radiotherapy Unit in Swindon, if we exceed our target we will be in a position to support our other life-saving cancer services at the Great Western Hospital, helping support many more patients.
