Fundraising
From time to time, the Trust engages in dedicated fund raising for specific objectives.
In addition to our main fund raising efforts, the Trust receives a significant level of support from external charities. These include the Friends of Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Friends of Princess Royal Hospital, Lingen Davies cancer relief , Macmillan cancer relief and the CT Trustees amongst others.
Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund
The Charity is committed to improving cancer services for the relief of cancer patients in Shropshire and Mid Wales, through the provision of specialist equipment and buildings. Over the years the Charity has invested millions in to improving the facilities for local cancer patients.
Current Appeal
The Cancer Centre Appeal was launched in January 2004, to raise £3.2 million, to build a new Cancer Centre which would improve the facilities for people with cancer in Shropshire and Mid Wales and meet the growing demands for cancer treatment.
This Appeal target was reached in December 2010, and building work on the new Centre is well underway, with completion expected in Autumn 2012.
Furniture and Equipment Appeal
As a continuation of the Cancer Centre project the Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund has agreed to raise the money needed to furnish and equip the new Centre.
How your donation could help
A contribution of any size will really make a difference to local cancer patients, below are just some ideas of how a donation might be spent (items may vary slightly in style and colour). The funds raised will be used to provide a range of much needed equipment in the new Centre ensuring patients receive their treatment in the best environment possible.
- £1,000 could buy a reclining treatment chair designed to make patients comfortable during their treatment
- £150 could buy a chair, enabling a patient to have someone sit with them whilst they are having their treatment
- £85 could buy a drip stand for the administration of treatment
- £50 could buy a chair, for the new clinic rooms
