Mobile Breast Screening Appeal
Fundraising Progress
£7,600 of £410,000
£7,600 of £410,000
Working in partnership with Scannappeal we have launched a £410,000 appeal to provide a new, fully equipped, state-of-the-art mobile mammography screening unit.
As part of a major upgrade of mobile mammography across Bucks, and with a new unit due to start screening in November for the north of the county, this appeal aims to fully fund a much-needed new unit for South Bucks.
Breast screening is essential in detecting early signs of cancer, often identifying small changes in breast tissue before other symptoms appear. By improving accessibility to these vital cancer screening services, we aim to encourage more women to undergo screening, which can lead to earlier detection and ultimately save more lives.
Patients in South Buckinghamshire, including those in Princes Risborough, Stokenchurch, Prestwood, Chesham, Amersham, Chalfont St Peter, Marlow, Gerrards Cross, and Denham, will benefit from having screening appointments closer to home, without needing to travel to hospital.
Your support will help us make breast cancer screening more accessible, improving the chances of early detection and giving more women the best possible outcomes. Together, we can save lives.

Providing the very best care for our patients within their community is at the heart of what we do. We are delighted to be working with Scannappeal and Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Funds to raise £410,000 to provide a new fully equipped breast screening mobile unit for patients living in south Bucks. The unit will enable us to take mammography screening directly into the community, significantly enhancing our service by improving accessibility for local patients. Earlier detection of breast cancer gives patients the best possible chance of a positive outcome.
Should sufficient funds be raised for this appeal the trustees of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Funds and Scannappeal will identify a project which fulfils similar needs.
