Supporting Cancer Services Since 1979
We support the cancer services at the Royal United Hospital (RUH) in Bath by raising funds for vital equipment, enhanced facilities, and essential services that fall outside of NHS funding. You have helped us raise over £6,500,00 since 1979.
Thanks to having no premises or paid staff, and being run by a dedicated team of volunteers who typically cover their own expenses, the Bath Cancer Unit Support Group operates with minimal overheads—allowing 90–95% of all funds raised to go directly to support projects.
Can you help make a difference?
We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to volunteers from across the region. We value diversity and encourage people of all ages and abilities, from all sections of the community, to get involved. We currently have branches in Frome and Trowbridge and are looking to expand into Chippenham.
There are many ways you can help us make a difference, whatever time you have available or level of commitment you can offer. Volunteering is a great opportunity to learn new skills or make use of existing ones.

Children’s Centre Building Appeal
With your generous support, this fundraising campaign will help us deliver two vital improvements that will directly impact children undergoing cancer treatment.
Our goal is to raise £495,000 to complete this project. The NHS is unable to fund this project but fundraising for BCUSG will help us to provide Paediatric Oncology at the Royal United Hospital with the upgraded facilities identified by their team that will make a real difference for their patients.
Superficial Therapy Unit Appeal
We are raising funds to purchase a new Superficial X-ray Therapy unit for the Cancer Centre at the Royal United Hospital (RUH), Bath — vital technology that will directly improve the treatment of cancer patients in our community.
Our goal is to raise £325,000 to replace the current Superficial Therapy unit, which was originally funded by BCUSG in 2010 and has now reached the end of its safe operational life after 15 years of service.
