Pelican Cancer Foundation is based in a purpose-built education and conference centre – The Ark in Basingstoke. We have access to state-of-the-art teaching facilities, including high definition video links to operating theatres in Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. Live surgery can be shown to groups of up to 240 delegates.
Our small team work together and support each other to deliver our charitable activities.
