Trusts and foundations

Grants from charitable trusts and foundations are essential in helping us deliver our vital support services to local people affected by cancer. Without this funding, we simply couldn’t continue to provide the free, local, and personalised care that so many people and their loved ones rely on.

Why your support matters 

We proactively apply to both local and national trusts to secure funding for:

• Day-to-day services that directly support people to Live Well With and Beyond Cancer
• Core running costs that ensure our charity can operate sustainably

Trust and foundation funding is crucial to sustaining our work and ensuring that everyone who needs support has access to it. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity shown by the many trusts who have partnered with us over the years. Every grant, whether large or small, one-off or multi-year, restricted to specific projects or given towards our core costs, makes a lasting difference.

Building new partnerships

We are always eager to build new relationships with charitable trusts and foundations, whether local or national.

With such a wide range of services, we have a variety of funding needs and are always happy to discuss how your trust’s support can create the greatest impact. We keep our funders regularly updated on the difference their investment has made, and we warmly invite trustees and colleagues to visit our centres to see our work in action.

The impact of grants

Thanks to charitable trusts and foundations in recent years, we have been able to:

• Deliver hundreds of personalised support packages (“Client Journeys”) across our region
• Provide lymphoedema massage services to ease discomfort for clients living with this condition
• Offer counselling and complementary therapies to improve wellbeing
• Launch new courses to help clients manage stress and navigate their future
• Re-decorate and improve our premises to create welcoming spaces
• Scope and develop our outreach services

These achievements would not have been possible without the generosity of our trust and foundation partners.
