We are seeking funding that will enable us to raise awareness of the charity’s work throughout the UK. So that all GIST Cancer patients are able to access our support and get the help they need as they struggle with a cancer diagnosis & try to come to terms with the challenges of living with GIST.

    Situation

    There are approx. 800 new GIST cancer patients diagnosed annually in the UK but only approx. 560 patients are currently registered with GIST Cancer UK. This indicates that a large number of GIST patients are unaware of the support they can access through GIST Cancer UK & are missing out on information & help that will improve the quality of their life. We want to ensure that we maintain contact with all the clinicians treating GIST patients so that they can signpost their patients to us.

    Solution

    We plan to run a campaign to raise awareness of our work and services, particularly targeting cancer specialists working within the NHS e.g. GIST / Sarcoma surgeons and oncologists, Specialist Sarcoma, Macmillan & GI Cancer Nurses and provide them with appropriate material to pass on to patients and their families.
