The Cancer Care Centre (CCC) at York Hospital is trying to raise enough money to create a new garden and courtyard area which can be used by anyone affected by cancer. The garden will be a mixture of seating areas and plants and flowers which will become a haven for patients and their family and friends, whether this is to relax in the fresh air, read a book or sit and have some lunch. The new garden will be a beautiful and flexible area that we hope will be enjoyed by all who visit it.

 

As part of the project, we would like to create a more welcoming approach to the CCC by decorating the external walls and windows. This will brighten up a currently dark space and help to direct people around the building, as well as creating a more comforting and calming atmosphere for people entering the space.

 

More than one in three people in the UK will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and in 2012, over 2,100 people were diagnosed with cancer at York Hospital. The CCC supports over 9,300 patients a year.
