Velindre, a Hospital of Hope. We hope you enjoy the series of 4 programmes following the fortunes of patients, families, staff and volunteers as they journey through Wales' premier Cancer Centre.

We have been providing care, support and treatment to cancer patients and their families for over 60 years and are the major provider of radiotherapy and other specialised anti-cancer treatments in Wales. We all know of family, friends and loved ones who have been touched by cancer. The incidence of cancer is rising by 2% each year in Wales with nearly 20,000 people diagnosed with the illness each year, and by 2020 one in two of us will develop cancer and 150,000 people will be living with a current or previous diagnosis of this disease. However as Velindre staff strive every day to deliver the best cancer services through exceptional care, more people than ever are living with cancer - survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years through better treatments and earlier detection. We want to lead in the delivery and development of compassionate, individualised and effective cancer care to achieve outcomes comparable with the best in the world. Donations to Velindre are used to fund things over and above those provided by the NHS, so your fundraising really does make a huge difference to patients and their families.    

We aim to provide the best care, when people need us most.
