The Service
Supporting the community...
Every two years Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service nominates an official charity to support. The nominated charity from 2010 until 2012 is the Wessex Cancer Trust.
We hope that as a Service, we will be able to make a significant contribution to the Trust as they continue their excellent work in the coming years.
As a major regional charity, the Trust is committed to improving cancer care throughout the Wessex region - which includes the Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Wiltshire, Dorset, and of course Hampshire.
The Wessex Cancer Trust is an independent charity which has raised approximately £20 million to help support and improve cancer services in the Wessex region which includes Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands. Established in 1981, this unique Trust supports many aspects of cancer care, including leading edge research, the improvement of patient facilities, purchase of much needed equipment, patient grants, complementary therapy and counselling services.
There are various ways in which you can help Wessex Cancer Trust! There are lots of ways to fundraise and volunteer for the Trust, either as an individual, as a WCT group or an independent group.
Individuals raise funds by doing sponsored events such as parachute jumps, walks, running and swimming, car boot sales, helping in our charity shops and befriending service, and through lots of other fun and creative ways.
If you would like further information please feel free to contact the Trust at wct@wessexcancer.org or on 023 8067 2200. Alternatively, why not pop in and see them at Bellis House! The staff are always happy to talk and help you in anyway they can so you can help them to change lives. Wessex Cancer Trust contact details.
Volunteers are also hugely important in raising awareness of the work of the Trust. It is so important that the Trust keeps its profile in the public eye so as to reach as many people in the Wessex region as possible.
