#30DaysOfCharity – 32) Beatson Cancer Charity

Beatson Cancer Charity supports people affected by cancer, every step of the way. They make the journey easier by transforming the way cancer care is funded and delivered. They provide services, as well as funding specialists, research and education to invest in a better future for cancer patients and their families.

From the hospital wards, right to the heart of the communities that The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre serves, we believe everyone should experience cancer with care, with love and with hope. We are with our patients and their families for every step of the journey.

By working within NHS environments, Beatson Cancer Charity is ideally placed to understand the needs of patients and staff. We respond by providing services and funding that enhance and strengthen NHS care and enable patients and their families to be helped swiftly and compassionately. At the same time our independence as a charity allows us to develop and extend our services further into the heart of Scottish communities to support more people with cancer before, during and after treatment.

Dear Aerial Express,

On behalf of everyone at Beatson Cancer Charity thank you for your kind donation.

Thanks to your support we can continue to invest in services, staff, research and education to provide a better future for those affected by cancer. We aim to make the journey easier by transforming the way patients are cared for and the way treatment is funded. Whether it is in the hospital ward, or within the community, we believe no one in Scotland should experience cancer without care, without love and without hope. We are with patients and their families whenever they need us.

Amongst patients and the wider community, we are best known for our award-winning Wellbeing Centre and specialist support at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and across hospitals in five health boards in the west of Scotland. Meanwhile, clinical and research professionals recognise our ongoing commitment to providing more effective wellbeing and medical services, funding additional specialist staff and supporting world-leading cancer research and education.

All our work is made possible by supporters like you. It is your generosity which allows Beatson Cancer Charity and all our staff and volunteers to deliver an innovative and patient-focused approach to cancer care and change the lives of those affected by the disease every day.

Thank you for being with us.

Yours sincerely,

Alison McGregor

Interim Chief Executive, Beatson Cancer Charity
