Our aim is to provide the best possible cancer care for patients in Sussex. We do this through providing additional services and equipment, refurbishment & building projects and funding cancer research.
The Sussex Cancer Fund charity was established in 1981 to work with the NHS to create new and improved facilities providing the best possible cancer care for Sussex. Since then, over £3 million has been raised to make the Sussex Cancer Centre more attractive, comfortable and effective.
Unlike many charities, costs are exceptionally low with only a very small percentage spent on administration; almost all money donated to us can be spent directly to benefit our patients.
Our Focus
In recent years we have rebuilt and refurbished the Sussex Cancer Centre, providing improved equipment and facilities to help care for our patients. Sussex Cancer Fund also provides Sussex Hospitals with specialist equipment such as Chemotherapy chairs, scanners and other treatment essentials that unfortunately in the current climate the NHS does not have the resources to supply.
The charity’s most ambitious project is the Macmillan Horizon Centre which we have built in partnership with Macmillan. The long awaited Cancer Support Centre opened in November 2016 and is being used by our patients.
The Support Centre acts as a hub for information and support services across Sussex. The new building provides support for cancer patients and their families in a calm non clinical environment. It also provides cancer information and advice, counselling services, complementary therapies, hair and skincare advice, dietary advice and space for self help and support groups.
Our focus for the future is to help to fund local research projects. Currently the Sussex Cancer Fund is supporting several research projects in conjunction with Brighton and Sussex Medical School.
The money we raise goes towards, equipment, research funding, building projects, staff training and services for cancer patients in Sussex. While we are relatively unknown it is likely that every cancer patient in Sussex will have directly benefitted from something funded by the charity.
We have really low overheads, with just two part-time employed members of staff.
If you look us up on the Charity Commission’s website you will see we are not sitting on thousands of pounds and we do in fact spend the money raised.
The money raised doesn’t just go into a big pot, fundraisers should they wish to, can pick directly what the money is spent on from the NHS staff/Patient wish list. This helps to give a very tangible idea of how they are helping.
