Going For Bust

• Going For Bust only funds purposes that relieve the needs of people diagnosed with breast cancer, so groups or services outside that area should not apply, and its priority areas are East Dorset and West Hampshire.
• The annual report gives no grant range and there is no published application process, and the charity paid £22,097 in total in its most recent year, so a modest, clearly costed request is the safer choice.
• Grants to hospital units and support groups follow full discussions about how funds will be best used and which equipment is most needed, so open with a conversation about a specific need such as specialised equipment, services or wellbeing activities.
• Grants to individuals follow investigation with their doctor, breast cancer nurse and/or consultant, and emergency aid follows referral, so a person seeking help should go through their care team.
