Our Mission
We are a charity dedicated to supporting patients at Bristol’s leading cancer specialist centre, the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC). We work to improve the environment in which the patients are treated and provide comfort and support to them and their families. We also provide funds for new equipment and research into new treatments. We are a non-funded organisation and rely entirely upon charitable donations.

“I sadly lost my mum to cancer very recently. The love and care we received from all the staff on level 6 was absolutely amazing - nothing was too much trouble! A massive and heartbreaking thank you to everyone, the nurses, HCAS, Dr (Lucy) Chaplaincy, kitchen staff, a special thank you to Emma Chubb and Ann for the tea and hugs! Keep doing what you are doing!”
