Donations to the Beacon Centre have enabled the provision of equipment, furnishings and artwork to enhance the patients’ experience, whilst undergoing treatment within the Beacon Centre, over and above that which it would have otherwise been possible to provide. Continued donation will ensure that further up to date equipment can be purchased in the future.
Early in 2010 the Beacon Centre received a prestigious award from Macmillan Cancer Support for the facilities/environment the building provides to its patients.
In December 2010 the Beacon Centre took delivery of “Bumble” a mobile unit provided by the charity Hope for Tomorrow and supported by Musgrove Leukaemic Group (Somerset). Operational from March 2010 Bumble will be taken out into the community to provide chemotherapy treatments to suitable patients nearer their homes.
