Our impact
What difference do we make?
2025/26 has been a year of progress, innovation and real-world impact for Hope for Tomorrow — and our annual impact report brings that story to life. It shows what happens when cancer care moves closer to communities: fewer long journeys, more time back for patients and families, and vital NHS capacity released where it is needed most.
Now in the third year of our 2024–2029 growth strategy, the report captures the momentum behind our ambition to bring more cancer services to more communities. It highlights the partnerships, innovation and patient-centred thinking that are helping to shape the future of cancer care delivery.
Inside, readers will find powerful data, patient perspectives and clinical insight — from 26,324 patient visits and the hours, miles and costs saved, to our contribution to the NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme, and a UK-first pilot in children’s cancer care.

As a charity that receives no statutory funding, none of this is possible without you. Every donation, fundraising challenge, corporate partnership and long-term commitment keeps our fleet on the road and our services in communities across the country.

Why not grab a cuppa and dive in, and take a moment to see what your support has helped us to achieve this year?
In 2025/26, our mobile cancer care units delivered 26,324 patient visits across England, saving patients an average of 156 hours and 884 miles a year that would otherwise be spent travelling to and from hospital. For the one in five patients living with and beyond cancer, those savings don’t just add up over months; they add up over a lifetime.
This year’s report covers our continued role in the NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme in Greater Manchester, bringing lung health checks to some of the most deprived and underserved communities in England. It looks at our contribution to NHS capacity, our alignment with England’s National Cancer Plan and the UK-first pilot in children’s cancer care that we are proud to be part of. And it features the patients and nurses whose experiences bring all of this to life.
