This campaign has now closed
Cancer Care remains a lottery in many parts of the country and within some key areas highlighted by NICE, a great deal more work needs to be done to improve levels of care. This includes information supply and communication of need, pyschological support, complementary therapy and group support. KickStart is a three year tapering grant programme offered across the UK to raise levels of care for all those living with cancer.
