Beatson Cancer Charity exists to enhance the experience, treatment, outcomes and well-being of current and former cancer patients and their families or carers. We achieve this by delivering non-clinical services and funding enhancements in cancer treatment, care and research in partnership with the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. Significant funding provides additional patient and family resources and facilities, innovative service developments and enhanced medical equipment. Our funding provides extra staff resources including clinical nurse specialists and radiography and research staff as well as innovative and ground-breaking research. Our experienced team offers a range of non-clinical services to help relax patients and provide relief from pain, insomnia, nausea, phobia and anxiety. These complementary services are delivered in the wards, departments or in the Beatson Cancer Charity Wellbeing Centre, a unique haven with wonderful views where patients can unwind alone or with fellow patients. Services and facilities include reiki, reflexology, massage, beauty therapies, a hair salon, a cinema and a soft drinks and juice bar. At the heart of Beatson Cancer Charity is our commitment to fighting cancer on all fronts. That's why we support a full range of resources from research and treatment to management and care. By doing so we can make a significant contribution to the battle against cancer - and help improve the lives of patients, former patients and their families. We are also committed to building and supporting The Beatson's reputation as an internationally renowned cancer centre. We believe that by attracting the best staff and developing pioneering techniques and treatments, we will contribute to changing the face of cancer treatment on a local, national and international scale. We are positive, we are full of hope and we are ready to fight cancer.

Good health and wellbeing

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies’ lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and we are committed to bringing that number down to zero. Through educating parents on how they can reduce the risk of SIDS and investing over £12 million in research, we have played a key role in reducing the number of babies who die from SIDS by 82%, saving the lives of more than 29,000 babies. Each year we train thousands of health professionals to support parents in sleeping their baby safely. We campaign tirelessly to raise awareness of SIDS and ensure our life saving advice reaches all parents. The Lullaby Trust supports bereaved families, through our helpline and befriending scheme. Our work with the NHS to provide a Care of Next Infant Programme (CONI) offers a lifeline to bereaved families expecting a new baby.
