Gazette's £234,000 bounty in just one month

The cash total raised by the Somerset County Gazette’s campaign to boost cancer services stands at £234,045 – after only one month.

The Gazette has teamed up with Macmillan Cancer Relief to run the Cash for Cancer Relief campaign to raise £485,000 to improve the lives of hundreds of people living with cancer.

Money from the campaign will be used to appoint four new cancer specialists at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.

And the campaign will also provide extra funding for Macmillan’s individual patient grants scheme, which provides a vital cash lifeline to cancer sufferers when they are unable to work or pay bills, and create a dedicated meeting room for members of the cancer team at Yeovil District Hospital.
