Supporting Cancer Patients Through Safe, Supportive Spaces

Thanks to generous funding by Bay Hospitals Charity of £10,000, over 200 patients have already benefited from attending support groups and educational workshops at Cancer Care since the project began.
What Patients Are Saying
Patients have found comfort in connecting with others facing similar diagnoses, supported by our amazing Clinical Nurse Specialists and Cancer Support Workers. These sessions offer both clinical guidance and emotional support in a welcoming environment.

Highlights from Our Sessions
• Upper GI Support Group: Guest speakers like Citizens Advice and even flower arranging demos!
• Prostate Cancer Self-Management: Patients praised the warm, professional setting and access to refreshments and support.
• Macmillan Look Good Feel Better Workshops: Held three times in a private, Zoom-enabled room with all the essentials.
Why the Venue Matters
• Comfortable, accessible, and private
• Free parking and nearby toilets
• Easy advance booking for workshops
Together, we are making a difference, one session at a time.

It's Thank you Thursday and we would like to pass on our gratitude to Nicole le Rougete who took part in the London Marathon and raised £1,652.07 for the Oncology Unit, RLI.

This is her story:
‘On the 27th April 2025 I ran the London Marathon in aid of the Oncology department at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary where my partners Dad Andy has been ongoing treatment. When I managed to get a spot via the ballot for the marathon I thought of course I still wanted to raise money for the Oncology Department, that we cannot thank enough for the support the team has given our family and many others.
The day of the marathon was absolutely amazing, a tough day in the heat but the atmosphere was unmatched and seeing everyone running and all the amazing charities people were running for got me through.
Thank you again to the Lancaster Hospital and the Oncology Department for all your continued hard work and care you give for families.’

On we would like to say grateful thanks to a former patient who after recovery took on the Lands End to John O Groats challenge raising £250 for the Coronary Care Unit. Well done Hugh, we appreciate your support. This is Hugh’s story:

I was in CCU for over 5 weeks before having a heart bypass at Christmas 2023. 18 months later, at the age of 74, I packed my tent and cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats camping along the way. As a family we are incredibly grateful to the CCU team for the care they took of me and my family.

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Angela! 🌟

We are thrilled to shine a light on Angela, one of our incredible volunteers at Furness General Hospital. Angela is a truly valued member of our team, bringing dedication, warmth, and her own unique skills to everything she does 🩷💜

Each week, she sets up a popular stall in the hospital foyer, selling hand-knitted baby items that have been lovingly donated to Bay Hospitals Charity. Thanks to your continued support, Angela’s stall has raised an amazing £2,800 since October 2024!

🧶 Our knitted baby goods are always in high demand, especially white baby cardigans, which sell out fast! If you enjoy knitting and would like to donate, we would be so grateful.

Please keep those beautiful creations coming, our patients, visitors, and staff absolutely love them! 💕
