Your local mobile cancer care unit ‘Amara’

Every year, on average around 1,300 people in your local area are diagnosed with cancer, and an increasing number of people are facing this frightening and life-changing diagnosis, sometimes alone.

Hope for Tomorrow have been partnered with Norfolk & Norwich University NHS Foundation Trust since 2021, helping local cancer patients receive their treatment closer to them. Based at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, ‘Amara’ visits Beccles, Attleborough, Fakenham and Dereham. From January – December 2021, 697 patient treatments have been delivered on ‘Amara’ and so far, 304 patient treatments in 2022.

James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are also utilising one of our mobile cancer care units, treating patients in Beccles, Pakefield, Caister, Bradwell and Lowestoft. Since April 2021, 940 patient treatments have been delivered on board.
