Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity

Our vision to build a new cancer care centre have been given a major boost with a £2million donation! Almost £8.5m has been raised for the appeal including an incredible £2million from the Summerfield Charitable Trust, as well as a host of individual donations, fundraising challenges and business support. To date, the Gloucestershire-based Trust has given more than £7 million in grants to good causes across the county, supporting areas such as the arts, environment, education, regeneration and sport. “The Summerfield Charitable Trust is deeply committed to supporting this vital cause that will not only enhance the quality of care for patients but also significantly improve the resources available to their families and the healthcare professionals who support them. This state-of-the-art facility will provide a haven for those affected by cancer, offering cutting-edge treatment, comprehensive support services, and a compassionate environment where healing and hope can thrive.” David Owen, Chairman of Trustees. We are profoundly grateful to the Summerfield Charitable Trust for their incredible gift that will transform cancer care and offer hope to countless lives for generations to come.
