A head and neck cancer diagnosis is devastating. Not just physically, but financially. In many cases, a person's day to day life is altered; often unable to work, to travel to appointments, to afford quality food or therapies that would aid their recovery. In extreme cases, people can fall into poverty. Without financial support, it can be incredibly difficult to maintain a good quality of life, with many falling into depression, or leading to other health concerns. Cancer changes everything.

Patient Support is what we do. Our solution is very simple: a direct payment for head and neck cancer patients, to support them above and beyond what is provided by the state. Our grants will focus on key areas that patients can choose from, meaning they can decide what is best for them. This could include travel to appointments, medical aids, therapies or more. We will signpost to resources and tools, and empower patients to use the money in a way that improves their quality of life.
