We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from the Northern Head and Neck Cancer charity to establish this pilot programme in the North East of England.

If you are a Head and Neck cancer patient based in the North East you can apply for a one off, non means tested, grant of up to £150 to help with expenses associated with your cancer.

We have a limited amount of funding for this pilot, if additional financial assistance exceeds the £150 grant (e.g. a piece of specialised equipment to aid in your treatment or care) this will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

How to apply:

1. You apply through a health or social care professional. This may be a social worker, a district nurse, a benefits adviser, or a member of your medical team.

2. You should complete this online form, if the form is required in another format please email financialsupportNE@oraclecancertrust.org

3. The Support Team will then process and verify the application.

4. Once your application is approved, our team will let you know and your grant payment will be made by BACS into your bank account.
