The Bracken Trust, a vital cancer support organization in Powys, faces a £110,000 shortfall threatening services for over 300 patients and their families.
The trust assists over 300 patients yearly, and they also help the families of these patients. The Bracken Trust provides essential support to those who need it. They have helped over 8,500 people in 30 years.
A politician wants the Welsh Government to help, asking them to provide money. This money would help the organization continue.
Jane Dodds is a Member of the Senedd (MS). She spoke about this Tuesday in the Senedd. Dodds asked Welsh Labour to support the trust and also wants support for similar rural services.
Dodds says rural cancer patients must not fall behind. Trusts like Bracken help patients in rural Wales. Funding problems cause great concern for everyone.
Dodds warned about isolating a group of people. These people cannot easily find support elsewhere. Healthcare in Mid Wales has already faced hard times.
Dodds wants the Welsh Government to assist Bracken Trust. People with cancer need support when they need it, and families also need support.
