About The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation
Sir Bobby Robson launched his Foundation in 2008 to find more effective ways to detect and treat cancer.
Part of Newcastle Hospitals Charity, its latest project is the proposed Sir Bobby Robson Institute, a £30m cancer research and treatment facility next to the Northern Centre for Cancer Care at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.
Construction is being funded by The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and a hugely significant £20m has already been raised. Another £10m is now needed, with every single gift and grant, no matter the size, a vital part of making the vision a reality.
The proposed institute would pioneer more ground-breaking innovation in cancer treatment and would significantly increase the number of clinical trials available for patients across the North East, north Cumbria and North Yorkshire.
If planning permission is granted and the money required raised, construction is scheduled to begin in spring next year, with the opening planned in 2028.
