A Warm Welcome from The Hastings Cancer Trust
We are a local non-profit charity organisation operated entirely by volunteers, and without premises, every cent donated goes to support our local community. We believe providing a full spectrum of cancer services to the Hastings Macleay and surrounding regions makes an incredible difference to local patients and their families coping with cancer.

How You Can Help
The Friends of the Hastings Cancer Trust are a group of volunteers who support the Trust and it’s vision, using their free time, talents and ideas to help raise funds for the local Hastings Macleay Regions.
What We Do
Through the generous donations received the Hastings Cancer Trust is able to fund a variety of local projects which support cancer patients, their carers and the facilities which support and treat them.
Apply For A Grant
We invite you to develop a project or identify a need which is both local and cancer related. Then simply complete an application for a HCT Grant. Applications open from August to October every year.
Our Stories
The “Our Stories” Project aims to give a voice to local people affected by cancer and to help record and share their stories. Hearing how others have walked a similar path can be encouraging and inspiring, particularly when times are tough. If you would like to share your cancer story get in touch with us via the contacts page.
