The
Lingen Davies Cancer Fund
From Colour Runs to Bonfire Balls, Supporting Those Affected by Cancer 42
Up to a few years ago, the main role of the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund was to fund equipment for cancer patients that cannot be afforded within the NHS budget, such as an expensive new CT scanner in 2022. Since COVID Lingen Davies’ services have expanded to support all the ways in which people’s lives are touched by cancer, from education on screening, grants for new equipment to rehabilitation after treatment. Consequently, in recent years the team has expanded rapidly from 4 to 15. We spoke with Emilie Kerr, who has been with Lingen Davies for just over a year as their Events Marketing Co-ordinator, she has always been creative and is interested in photography. “I was going to do Economics [at university] and I can’t think of anything worse now!” Working in the charity sector is ideal for her.
