Hope for Tomorrow is a charity dedicated to creating new spaces for cancer services to be delivered faster, to more patients in more convenient locations.
Hope for Tomorrow builds and provides mobile cancer care units for NHS trusts across England to allow them to treat cancer patients closer to where they live. The units allow the NHS to drive out to patients, saving them long, regular, and often disruptive journeys, to hospital for their cancer treatment.
We make this happen by raising the funds and then building the units for NHS trusts, allowing them to treat cancer patients in their local communities so that they don’t have to make regular trips to hospital. We provide the units, and the NHS nursing teams deliver the care.
The units and nursing teams drive out to locations such as community hospitals or supermarket car parks and can treat over 20 patients a day. As you’d expect, they receive the same exceptional care that they would in hospital but with extra benefits.
As they don’t need to make long trips to the hospital they save time, travel costs and parking fees. At the hospital they may have long walks or experience long waits when they arrive for their appointments, but on a unit there is no waiting.
Better still, being treated locally with other local patients often builds a sense of togetherness and community on the units, resulting in a relaxed and friendly treatment environment.
