North West Cancer Centre, Tamworth

We are beyond grateful for your fundraising efforts and are delighted to announce that with your help North West Cancer Centre Tamworth raised an astounding $10,853!

By taking part in Dry July, you’ve helped fund accommodation for patients and their carers accessing treatment at the North West Cancer Centre.

Your fundraising has helped ensure all patients having treatment at the North West Cancer Centre can access accommodation without any out of pocket costs. Extra expenses like this are often a barrier to rural people accessing lifesaving cancer treatments.

When Inala House is fully booked, the centre sources and pays for other accommodation facilities on behalf of the patients so that they are not disadvantaged due to financial reasons.

On behalf of North West Cancer Centre Tamworth, we would like to thank you for your support and contribution to making a positive difference in the lives of people living with cancer.

Your Dry July fundraising has enabled all patients of the North West Cancer Centre to access FREE accommodation and transport to treatment services while undergoing their treatment.

When Inala House is at capacity the North West Cancer Centre sources, books and pays for other accommodation facilities on their behalf so that these patients are not disadvantaged due to the financial costs involved.

The four transport to treatment services that run out of Tamworth, Armidale and Narrabri continue to be highly utilised and your fundraising money will continue to allow these services to be provided free of charge to those who need them.

This service wouldn't be possible without you, Dry Julyers - you should be so proud. 

Dry July 2019 funds will support a mobile lymphoedema/remedial massage therapist and physiotherapist for house bound patients in New England North West area.

This service helps improve access to Lymphoedema services for patients.

Funds raised during the 2018 Dry July Campaign are being put to good use at North West Cancer Centre, Tamworth. 

Plants, seeds and equipment have been purchased for the garden area at Inala House where patients can be distracted by taking part in some gardening therapy. Pictured are patients planting out and adding to the existing vege patch. 

Replacing wheelchairs at Inala House was also a top priority this year. The new wheelchairs will be purchased early in 2019. Kitchen appliances are also being updated thanks to the funds and so cooking in the centre will be more enjoyable too.

Thanks to fund raised through Dry July, Inala House in Tamworth have been able to purchase a second vehicle for their transport to treatment program.

The transport to treatment service is available to guests staying at Inala House in Tamworth, and transports patients who live within a 100km radius of North West Cancer Centre.
