Why We Are Here

A cancer diagnosis can bring pressures that extend far beyond treatment itself. For people living with cancer and those supporting them, everyday costs, travel, household bills and other practical needs can become more difficult to manage. Cancer Care Trust provides financial support to help ease some of these pressures during difficult times. Our grants can contribute towards practical needs including transport, bills and everyday expenses

Our support is not limited to the person diagnosed. We also recognise the pressures experienced by carers, friends and family members supporting someone living with cancer.

Our Beliefs

Support Should Consider the Whole Person

Cancer can affect emotional and psychological wellbeing as well as physical health.

Cancer Care Trust believes that emotional and psychological support is an important part of supporting people living with cancer and maintaining quality of life.

This is why our approach recognises both the emotional and practical pressures that can accompany cancer.

By directing support towards people and organisations that may benefit from additional financial help, we aim to make difficult circumstances a little easier to manage.

Helping Support Go Further

Cancer Care Trust is a self-funding registered charity. Alongside providing direct financial support, we donate to selected cancer charities and work with Clothes Relief, which collects unwanted good-quality clothing, shoes and accessories to help raise funds for our work.

These different forms of support help us continue assisting people affected by cancer and contributing to organisations carrying out important work.
