Wessex Cancer Trust is a vibrant charity, supporting people affected by cancer across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. Although the charity is approaching its 40th year, the culture is driven by the need to evolve and grow, ever changing and improving – helping more people in more ways.

In 2014, just over 98,600 people in Wessex were living with or beyond cancer. This number is estimated to increase significantly in the next 20 years.
