Dorset Cancer Care Foundation Providing financial support to Dorset residents who are experiencing financial hardship due to cancer

The Dorset Cancer Care Foundation provides financial assistance to Dorset residents and their families who are experiencing financial hardship due to cancer. The DCCF also occasionally offers cancer-related financial support to local support groups, organisations, hospitals, and hospices. We do this in the fastest and simplest way possible: The applicant completes an online form outlining their co

ndition and needs. All requests are put to our Board of Trustees every two weeks and a decision is made within 48 hours of submission. DCCF operates on a trust basis and does not request financial evidence from any of our applicants. Awards are granted to successful applicants and monies deposited into their bank account between 2 and 5 weeks of the application being submitted. The Dorset Cancer Care Foundation offers awards to help within the following areas (this is not an exhaustive list):
- Transport and parking costs during treatment
- Overnight accommodation during treatment
- Counselling
- Minor household modifications needed due to illness
- Respite support
- Domestic help needed due to illness
- Care costs
- Food bills
- Financial bills while you are out of work due to cancer
- Specialised items
