Bridging the gap to meet the diverse health needs of our entire community.
We fund projects to ensure health equity and support initiatives that address the diverse needs of our communities.
What we are doing
We are continuing to fund our innovative Living With and Beyond Cancer project, which supports patients both during and after their cancer treatment, designed by patients telling us what would make the most difference for them. This has included staff training, developing resources and running workshops to help patients manage the symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment, running a physiotherapy service, and working with the Lymphoedema Team to better support patients with cancer-related lymphoedema. This last project was nationally recognised by NHS England.
Living with and beyond cancer
“I had treatment years ago and there was never an approach like this. It is so reassuring to see there is holistic care and a big team of people to support you.”
