Bringing cancer care into local communities

Every 75 seconds, someone in the UK is told they have cancer. For many, cancer care means long, frequent trips to hospital at an already difficult time. Hope for Tomorrow designs, builds and maintains mobile cancer care units that bring cancer services into local communities, in partnership with the NHS.

On average, a patient saves 884 miles of travel every year by visiting a mobile unit for their cancer care, rather than travelling to hospital.

Cancer care that fits around life

Cancer care can be exhausting, physically and emotionally. Hope for Tomorrow’s mobile units bring cancer services into the heart of communities, helping patients get the care they need without additional stress and strain, so they can get back to their lives sooner.

Patients who visit our mobile units save an average of 156 hours in treatment and waiting time every year, along with an average saving of £364 in transport and parking costs.

Mobile cancer services reaching more patients, in more places

Around 420,000 people across England are diagnosed with cancer each year, and life changes in an instant. Our mobile units exist to improve the cancer patient pathway, bringing cancer services into the communities that need them. We currently operate 14 mobile cancer care units in partnership with nine NHS trust partners, bringing cancer services to communities across the country.

Last year, our mobile units enabled more than 26,000 visits for patients in their communities. That’s thousands of patients who could access their cancer care closer to home and work.

We are the UK’s mobile cancer care charity

Hope for Tomorrow receives no statutory funding, relying entirely on donations and fundraising to keep our mobile units on the road. On board, patients are cared for to the same clinical standards as hospital cancer care but in a calm, comfortable, familiar environment.

It is only with your support that we can keep our mobile units on the road and reaching even more patients who need us. Explore our events and fundraising opportunities or donate today.

My treatment on the mobile unit couldn’t be more different. It has now become a part of my normal routine and overall, it is relatively stress free.

It seems less of a big thing going to the mobile unit for my treatment. Somehow the unit manages to normalise it.
