We bring cancer care closer to NHS patients

Hope for Tomorrow builds and provides mobile cancer care units for NHS trusts across England to allow 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

I’ll miss the unit, and I only hope more get to benefit from it like I have been able to.

I remember waiting for over two hours at the hospital to receive the treatment for the first time, and when the nurse saw me, she asked where I had come from. When I told her Bury St Edmunds, she asked me, “Well, would you like to go on the mobile unit?” It was an immediate yes!
