Lingen Davies Cancer Fund exists to make a positive difference to lives affected by cancer in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales. Our charity was launched in 1979 as the Cobalt Appeal; an appeal that raised funds to bring cancer services to Shropshire for the very first time. Since then, we have raised an estimated £20 million, in today’s money, to support local services, and over 85,000 people have benefitted from projects we have supported.

Visitors must be made welcome, and their questions answered in a friendly and efficient manner.

Our new Charity Administrator will be a key part of the office team, based on one of our reception desks and responsible for providing exceptional customer service as well as completing a range of administrative tasks to support the work of the Fundraising Office.

All of our staff and volunteers are expected to work with the Lingen Davies values in mind. We are:
