To support the work of the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, we have an established Grants programme. We actively encourage applications from organisations supporting cancer patients across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Mid Wales.
Applications will be considered from any healthcare provider or organisation providing services or support to people with cancer, or to organisations working to prevent cancer in our community.
Grant applications received are reviewed by our Grants Sub-Committee and, depending on the nature and value of the application, may then require approval from the Trustee Board. These can range from smaller amounts, under a £1000, to larger grants over £10,000.
All applications should support the objectives of the charity, which are:
1. Supporting cancer patients residing in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales by providing:
i) Grants to support the work of cancer healthcare professionals based within and serving cancer patients
ii) Services direct to such cancer patients (if the Trustees deem it appropriate)
2. The prevention of cancer by raising awareness across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales
Examples of previous grants that we’ve funded included large equipment for cancer diagnosis and treatment, cooling caps for patients, complementary therapies for palliative and end of life patients, radar keys for accessing disabled toilets, cancer rehabilitation work in the community and more!

We are focused on funding new ideas and projects, so it is unlikely that we would fund the work you have already started.
