£5m campaign for dedicated Telford cancer centre launches at Parliament event with speech by Health Secretary
A Shropshire cancer charity has taken its major £5m fundraising campaign to Parliament.
Shaun Davies, MP for Telford, hosted the launch of the Lingen Davies Sunflower Appeal in Parliament.
The event featured a keynote speech from Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The £5 million campaign aims to raise funds to establish Telford’s own dedicated cancer centre at Princess Royal Hospital, doubling chemotherapy treatment capacity across the region, and sparing patients the long journeys currently required to access care at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's Lingen Davies Cancer Centre.
The new cancer centre would make life-changing treatment and support far more accessible for Telford residents, a cause Mr Davies has backed.
He said: "Today I was proud to stand up for Telford and stand shoulder to shoulder with every volunteer, trustee, and supporter driving this campaign forward.
