Big Space Cancer Appeal

Led by Cotswold Tyndale, Rotary Clubs are coming together to help transform the specialist regional cancer centre in Cheltenham.


Cancer touches us all, with a predicted 40% increase in the UK by 2035. Already, 100 new patients each week from across our District are diagnosed through the Regional Centre in Cheltenham. 

This district wide project led by Gillian Hayward and other members of Rotary Club of Cotswold Tyndale aims help to make this an easier experience by ensuring great holistic support, and better mental health for patients and their families

The project is running in parallel with Gloucestershire Hospitals' Big Space Appeal, with regular communication and cooperation between the two teams. 

Latest good news:

1. A massive £221,000, including a Global Grant of £58,000 has already been raised. Not far to go to achive the goal of £250,000.

2. Cheryl Harrison has been appointed to the Psychotherapist / Community Engagment Lead that the project is funding for rwo years.

Pictures from the launch event in October 2024 held at Swinhay are here.

A video made by ITV about the appeal and Rotary's part in it featuring Gillian Hayward who is leading the project is viewable here.
