A CHARITY which helps cancer patients across East Lancashire has just launched a new website.

The Rosemere Cancer Foundation launched the new site -- www.rosemere.org.uk -- at Ewood Park.

It will give comprehensive information to patients, carers and supporters and information about the Foundation, the Rosemere Cancer Centre at Royal Preston Hospital and the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Network.

Anyone wishing to support the Rosemere Cancer Foundation will be able to access up-to-date information on events and fundraising groups as well as being able to make donations on line and request advice on legacies and tax-effective giving.

Patients, carers and clinicians will be able to log on for information on the range of cancer services delivered by the Rosemere Cancer Centre, which provides specialist treatment for patients throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Lynne Smith, Directorate Manager for Oncology Services at the Rosemere Cancer Centre, said: "Providing authoritative information to patients and their carers is very much in line with the Government's Cancer Plan."
