One cancer charity is set to see its funding cut by a third

A Wirral cancer support charity is preparing to fight back as it’s set to see its NHS funding cut by a third. It is one of many cuts expected to be made by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside in order to balance the books. The Holistic Cancer Centre in Claughton, Wirral has existed since 1988 initially starting out at St Catherine’s Hospital in Tranmere.

June Williamson said it had allowed her to make some really great friends and share her thoughts making her feel more positive. She felt the cuts would be a loss to the local community. Karen Dunn said her diagnosis was traumatic and a real shock but now, she attends the art class. She told the LDRS: “I never thought I would do anything like this before but it just switches my mind off. You just stop thinking about things all the time meeting friends and learning something you never dreamed of.
