Jersey

Helping to develop the Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Southampton General Hospital.

Young people with cancer in Jersey need to travel to Southampton to receive their specialised treatment. To provide them with the best care in an age-appropriate environment, we have established a local appeal on the island to raise at least £100,000 to help develop the new Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Southampton General Hospital.

This is the amount it costs to fit out a patient bedroom with everything a young person would want when spending long periods in hospital.

Each bedroom has entertainment equipment including flat screen televisions, sound systems, customised lighting, wall art, en-suite bathroom and internet access. There is also place for parents or family and friends to stay over on a pull-out bed.
