Stage 2 is the new Sussex Cancer Centre (SCC) that will replace the Barry Building and surrounding structures and Stage 3 is the service and logistics yard that will replace the existing Cancer Centre.


A major capital appeal is being set up to support improvements to the new centre beyond what is available through standard NHS funding.

~ Phase 2: Private (Quiet) Phase


~ The Planning Phase is crucial to ensure we have the best foundation in place for a successful appeal. During the Private/Quiet Phase, the incumbent will secure income and pledges from charitable trusts, charity partners, high-net worth donors and prospects plus corporate partners.


During the Public Phase the appeal will be widened to include community fundraising, direct response campaigns and dedicated events reaching the whole of the catchment area audience, staff, past and current patients and their families, as well as continuing work securing support from charity partners, trusts, HNW individuals and corporates.


The wider capital development programme will also require charity input over time. The post holder will be expected to advise the charity on support for this programme, for instance, the acute floor reconfiguration at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and the new stroke unit at St Richard's Hospital.
