Beatson Cancer Charity has launched this Open Call Grants Fund to help drive progress within the charity’s three priority areas:
Clinical Excellence, Practical Care & Support and Research & Innovation
We strive to enhance the experience, treatment and outcomes of cancer patients at the Beatson west of Scotland Cancer Centre and Beatson satellite sites. Our services offer practical and emotional support to patients and families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond, to help them cope with the challenges of living with cancer and to live a full and meaningful life.
We fund items above NHS provision which enhance the treatment and care provided by the Beatson. We are also committed to improving cancer survival rates by supporting advances in technology and research.
The charity is keen to provide opportunities for developing projects and initiatives within the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and support its wider reach across the West of Scotland.
