Supporting cancer care in Nottingham

Here at Nottingham Hospitals Charity, we work hand-in-hand with Nottingham’s NHS hospitals to ensure that every person facing a cancer diagnosis receives the best care possible. 

This includes supporting new facilities, funding vital equipment and providing services that ensure patients feel more comfortable during their treatment. 

Through the generosity of our supporters, we have helped fund a wide range of projects across Nottingham’s City Hospital, Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham Children’s Hospital. 

We’ve run numerous appeals over the years, including the Children’s Cancer and Neuroscience Ward Appeal, which aimed to raise over £500,000 towards the redevelopment of the children’s cancer and neuroscience wards. We’ve also supported the Nottingham Breast Institute, which supports patients undergoing breast cancer treatment. 

Some of the projects we've supported:

Contrast Injector System

The Nottingham Breast Institute was among the first in the UK to introduce a state-of-the-art Contrast Injector, which is helping to quickly allow clinicians to see if breast cancer cells are present and if they have spread.

BAME Wigs project

For the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, losing your hair due to cancer treatment can have a devastating impact, especially when they are unable to find an appropriate wig. Thanks to generous donations, we’ve been able to support BAME patients undergoing cancer treatment across Nottingham.

A thank you to Nottingham Panthers

We’ve also been so grateful for the continued support from the ice hockey team, Nottingham Panthers, who fundraise for Oncology and other areas of cancer care every November through their Hockey Fights Cancer jersey and supporting matches.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of NHS staff, families and friends and those who have been looked after by Nottingham hospitals for allowing us to continue to provide this much-needed support to patients across Nottinghamshire and beyond. 

Swift Family at the Big Thank You | Big Appeal

Your difference does matter

We’ve also witnessed some incredible outcomes, including Oliver Swift who we first met when we launched the Big Appeal for Nottingham Children’s Hospital. Since then, Oliver has undergone three operations and rang his end-of-treatment bell. His parents, Ashley and Charlene, have been huge supporters of Oliver’s diagnosis and have raised thousands for Nottingham Children’s Hospital by taking on our Abseil and the Robin Hood Half Marathon.
