Friends Fighting Cancer LTD is a small, community-driven funder focused on practical, immediate relief for people affected by cancer in the Portsmouth area and nearby parts of Hampshire and Dorset. Its support is highly local and hands-on, combining direct cash grants to ease short-term financial pressure on patients and families with food bank donations gathered through community events. The organization appears to prioritize quick, low-barrier assistance that helps with everyday hardship rather than larger institutional grants.
Small one-off grants, typically around $100-$500, with means testing and rapid decisions as funds permit; food support is ongoing through event-based donations and local distribution rather than a formal grant cycle.
Check eligibility carefully: the cash grant scheme is means-tested and limited to PO, SO, and BH postcode areas. Applications appear to be handled on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline, so applicants should contact the team directly and be prepared to explain immediate financial need and provide basic supporting information quickly.
