Fortuneswell Cancer Trust

We wish to say a very big thank you to everyone that has made a donation to or fundraised for Fortuneswell Cancer Trust.

Over 12,000 patients receive treatment every year in the Fortuneswell Outpatient Unit and Ward. Many of us have already had very good reason to be grateful to the Unit, and many more will need its services in the future.

With your help Fortuneswell Cancer Trust has donated £358,000 to the Dorset County Hospital Cancer Appeal which has now achieved its target and the Robert White Therapy Centre is now in use.  And due to your generosity, we have managed to continue to fund smaller projects at the same time.

Help us to continue supporting cancer patients in Dorset.

Thank you!
