02 Activities

What the charity does

The Ark Cancer Charity operates locally to enhance the experience of patients receiving cancer treatment at Hampshire Hospitals, through funding wellbeing services which the NHS cannot currently deliver with the aim to support patients with symptoms associated with their cancer from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. We also provide grants to enhance NHS premises for cancer treatment.
