Bringing cancer care closer

One in two people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. Cancer care often means long and frequent trips to hospital.

Hope for Tomorrow helps the NHS to bring cancer services closer to patients with our mobile cancer care units, making their lives that much easier at a difficult time.

We bring cancer care closer to NHS patients

Hope for Tomorrow provides mobile cancer care units for NHS trusts across England to enable them to treat cancer patients closer to where they live. The units allow the NHS to drive out to patients, saving them long, regular, and often disruptive journeys to hospital for their cancer treatment.

With close to 70% of patients saying that they can tolerate their treatment better on a mobile cancer care unit and over half saying that it improved their chances of completing their full course of treatment, you can see how, with your support, we can really make a difference.

what we do

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.
