Jersey Cancer Relief came into being in 1968, initially as the Jersey branch of the national campaign, when it was found that some cancer patients and their families were finding it difficult to cope financially because of their illness.

It was incorporated as a Jersey charity in November 1973. Since then, due to generous donations and our own fundraising efforts, it has been possible to offer assistance to many Islanders.

We are honoured to have Dr Karen Kyd as our Patron.

Friends of Jersey Oncology (FOJO) is a charity that was formed to enhance the services the unit provides. Our fundraising helps to provide additional care, comfort and support for patients and their loved ones during their treatment. A cancer diagnosis can have a huge impact on patients, their families and caregivers. We recognise this and offer support at the right time to make the transition to cancer treatment less daunting.
