Rebuilding our West Suffolk mobile cancer care unit
A new mobile cancer care unit for West Suffolk is on the way, thanks to your support
For a decade now, Frisbey, our West Suffolk-based mobile cancer care unit, has been bringing vital cancer care to patients across the county, saving them thousands of miles of travel and countless hours of precious time.
After nearly ten years of service, Frisbey reached the end of its operational lifespan. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and funders, including a three-year commitment from The Alborada Trust to maintain the unit, we’re delighted to confirm that a full rebuild is now underway, securing this essential service for the West Suffolk community.
Why mobile cancer care matters
Without a mobile cancer care unit, patients across the region 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 makes a difference
Every donation, regardless of size, helps us continue to design, build and maintain mobile cancer care units for communities across England. Your contribution helps ensure cancer patients throughout West Suffolk can continue to receive accessible, compassionate cancer care where they need it.
How you can help
Frisbey’s rebuild is now underway. Your ongoing support helps us maintain this service and continue reaching patients across the county who rely on it.

“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 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.
