Research Grants

Naseem's Charity has recently awarded to £28,000 in grants to help fund two important research projects.

We have given a donation of £20,000 to the Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology and their response was as follows:

'Clatterbridge your cancer centre' is the only charity that raises funds to directly benefit the patients of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology, the leading cancer treatment centre for people in Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire & the Isle of Man. Every year more than 9,000 new patients are diagnosed with cancer and referred to our doctors for treatment.

Dr Brian Haylock, one of our most experienced and accomplished consultants will be working with his team to research Brain Tumours and their treatment.

The aim is to develop a network which would allow patients with low grade gliomas to have their operation locally, then provide appropriate samples of clinical information to various research institutions to help develop their research programmes. The money donated will fund a post for Carol Walker who has vast experience in the above for 2.5 days per week to co-ordinate and implement this. We are also supporting a part-time research assistant to work with Carol .

Dr Haylock says: "We are so grateful to Naseem's Charity for such a tremendous opportunity. The money donated will allow us to take advantage of a skilled individual, acting as a catalyst to co-ordinate many important research projects we have planned. We expect this project to provide some very important steps forward in brain cancer research."

On behalf of our patients, their families and our staff, many thanks once again for your support

In addition to this Naseem's Charity have given a further sum of £8,000 to Brain Tumour UK.

This money will go towards the research programme at the University of Wolverhampton.and in particular the research team which works on gliobastoma multiforme research and also leads paediatric research.
