Set up by a small group of people in the Ferndown area, all who have experienced someone close to them fight personal battle with either Breast or Prostate Cancer. Whether the battle has won or lost the fight the fight is always a hard, unnerving, stressful and sad time. Which are just a few of many emotions fighters and loved one’s experience.

After seeing first hand just how many people suffer and constant tests, check-ups and Hospital visits involved. The team be hind The Fletcher Foundation teamed up with both the Prostate and Breast cancer wards at Poole Hospital helping them to be able to source the best, most advanced technology available for both checking and treating patients faster and more accurate. This in turn means shorter waiting time to be seen and receive results which can both be a scary and daunting time.

So far The Fletcher Foundation has helped pay towards a new Pro Step in the Radiotherapy department, a Lateral Arm in the breast screening unit and to help cover the costs of the yearly licence’s and maintenance that is needed to be able to run and use these machines which mount up to a massive £10.000 a year which is paid for solely by donations.
