Rebuilding our West Suffolk mobile cancer care unit

Why we need your help

After nearly 10 years of service, our West Suffolk mobile cancer care unit has reached the end of its operational lifespan and requires a complete rebuild to continue serving the community. Without our mobile cancer care units patients could face:

• Longer journeys to receive treatment
• Additional anxiety during an already challenging time
• Increased financial stress from travel costs
• Less time with loved ones and at home

Your support will make a difference

Every donation, regardless of size, brings us closer to our goal of providing a new mobile unit for patients across the Suffolk community. Your contribution helps ensure cancer patients throughout the county can continue to receive accessible, compassionate care closer to where they need it. 

Our first funding for the new ‘Frisbey’

We’re thrilled to announce the Bernard Sunley Foundation as our founding supporter for this appeal. Their generous contribution marks the first major pledge toward our rebuild goal.

Their longstanding commitment to Hope for Tomorrow spans nearly a decade, and we are incredibly grateful that they have stepped forward to support us once again when we need it. On their recent support, Sue Davies, Director at the Bernard Sunley Foundation, said the following:

“For nearly a decade, we’ve witnessed the remarkable impact Hope for Tomorrow has in making the care that cancer patients need more convenient for them. These mobile units save patients their precious time, reduce the stress of travel, and also ensure that vital cancer services are accessible for the patients who need them in their local communities.

 

“As the first to pledge support toward rebuilding the West Suffolk mobile unit, I’m pleased to announce the Bernard Sunley Foundation’s commitment to this essential service. We believe wholeheartedly in Hope for Tomorrow’s mission and have seen the life-changing results. Our investment ensures cancer patients across West Suffolk will continue receiving the accessible, compassionate care they deserve. The Foundation is proud to support this rebuild project and looks forward to seeing the new mobile unit serving community members for many years to come.”

The Bernard Sunley Foundation’s early support demonstrates the tangible difference our mobile cancer care units make – meaning that essential cancer services are more accessible for those that need them in their community, bringing cancer care closer to home, reducing travel, waiting and treatment times, and giving patients more time to spend on feeling better or doing the things they want to do.
