Welcome to the Caron Keating Foundation Website

C.A.L.L. £10,000
This Freefone call centre offers practical and emotional help to cancer patients within the Stockport and Greater Manchester area. This valuable service can be extended with the help of the above grant from the Caron Keating Foundation allowing more volunteers to be trained and the phone lines to be open longer hours. www.canceraid.co.uk

Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust £10,000
Lanarkshire is a big country within Scotland and the Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust has volunteer drivers who ferry patients to and from their hospital appointments. This is a valuable service as some distances are not served by public transport. The grant from the Caron Keating Foundation will enable the drivers to continue this thriving facility.

Harlington Hospice £12,000
Lymphoedema is a uncomfortable and painful side effect from breast cancer. The Harlington Hospice in Middlesex has an expanding Lymphoedema Clinic, which is very busy and necessary. Going to the hospice helps local people avoid having to go into busy London and the grant from the Caron Keating Foundation will fund a Caron Keating Room for the clinic. www.harlingtonhospice.org

The Princess Alice Hospice £25,000
The Princess Alice Hospice is based in Esher, Surrey. They have just finished building a large development project which has extended the existing building and facilities. The Caron Keating Award will provide a consulting room for complementary therapies that will be named in Caron’s honour. www.pah.org

St Luke’s Hospice £18,000
St Luke’s Hospice has cared for the people in the surrounding areas of Plymouth for fourteen years. They are aware that emotional support can stop for relatives and carers prematurely and they continue this support with holistic care. The grant from the Caron Keating Foundation will enable more training for volunteers and will enable a co-ordinator to organise this service in the most efficient manner. www.stlukes-hospice.org.uk
