Recently funded projects

Through the generosity of our many fundraisers and patrons, we were able to purchase over £300k in medical equipment and patient comfort needs during 2005/06. These items would not normally be available within NHS budgets and we are indebted to all those who made these purchases possible throughout the year. Our cancer patients would not have benefited without your generosity. THANK YOU
