Supporting cancer projects in the Hastings and Macleay Valley regions since 2005

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

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

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.
