The Wessex Cancer Trust is an independent charity which has raised almost £20 million to help support and improve cancer services in the Wessex region. Established in 1981, this unique trust supports many aspects of cancer care including leading edge research, the improvement of patient facilities, individual patient grants, purchase of much need equipment, complimentary therapy and counselling services.

Through the generosity of so many people the trust has been able to help fund major projects including the the provision of mobile mammography vehicles which have screened over a million women for breast cancer, a three year psychological project at Salisbury Hospital and provide funds for the Shared Nurse Scheme. The Trust also helps support the Piam Brown children's cancer ward at Southampton General Hospital and provide a Daisy Bus minibus link for patients travelling from the Isle of Wight to their hospital appointments on the mainland.

Every year thousands of firefighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every thirty seconds in the UK, firefighters are called to an accident putting their lives on the line and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties.

The charity is modern, dynamic and award-winning. It costs over £9 million every year to keep the charity running, and with no government funding, it is completely reliant on donations from the general public.

Romsey firefighters respond to around 340 calls a year ranging from road traffic collisions and major fires to chimney fires and automatic fire alarms.
