November 2020 – COVID-19 update from Pelican Cancer Foundation

November 4, 2020 by pelicanadmin

Our small team is now starting to get back to work, from their own homes, and will be doing their best to get Pelican up and running again so that we can continue to deliver our mission of driving innovation and development in bowel cancer, focusing particularly on advancing surgical treatment.

While, sadly, Pelican is still not able to undertake its prime mission – to educate clinicians across the UK to improve the treatment of bowel cancer, we are exploring the possibility of delivering online training.  At the same time, clinical staff across the NHS continue to work extremely hard to treat all patients who need attention, which includes all those with Covid-19.

The Trustees of Pelican Cancer Foundation reluctantly decided to furlough our brilliant team during the earlier peak of the pandemic because they were not able to carry out their normal roles, including organising education programmes and fundraising events.  We also offered our office space to the hospital in Basingstoke so that administrative staff could work there and free up space for the clinical services in the hospital.

We are working on a path through this difficult time for Pelican so that we can continue to work with clinicians throughout the NHS.  We have started to explore the potential to deliver our education programmes online so that NHS staff do not need to travel to continue to learn.  A new direction for Pelican!

Pelican IMPACT completes a successful two-year run

February 7, 2020 by pelicanadmin

Pelican IMPACT has now drawn to a close after two years on the road. Our workshop in Kent on the 17th January was the grand finale in what has been a broad-reaching and highly successful programme delivered throughout the UK and Ireland.

Professor Brendan Moran commented: “Spearheaded by Pelican Cancer Foundation and the current President of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, Nicola Fearnhead, in conjunction with Professor Jim Hill, ACPGBI President 2017-2018 – and myself as immediate past-president in 2018-2019, IMPACT combined the experience of Pelican Cancer Foundation in MDT Course development and delivery with the clinical leadership of ACPGBI.

We are particularly grateful to our two main donors, The Lady Yuen Peng McNeice Charitable Foundation and the ACPGBI for the enormous financial support which made this venture possible. This initiative will improve outcomes for many of our most ill patients and will help integrate the crucial role of palliative care in complex cancer pathways. More patients will be cured and best care delivered to all. Thank you Pelican Cancer Foundation, ACPGBI, and all participants!”.

A-Plan Insurance – Charity of the Year

October 10, 2019 by pelicanadmin

A-Plan Insurance: A-Plan Basingstoke Commercial Team selected us as their charity of the year in 2019 and have been very busy with an array of fundraising activities for Pelican Cancer Foundation!

Three members of staff held a sponsored golf day which involved 4 rounds of golf, one after the other, and an incredible 18.4 miles of walking over 14 hour time period.  For this event, they raised over £500.00. They also held a sponsored gaming event that lasted 12 hours and raised £100.

In addition – the Commercial Team at A-Plan completed the Supernova 5k – Bournemouth Marathon Festival on 5th October, which has so far raised over £400 for us.

We’re really looking forward to working with A Plan over the next year and thank them for all their hard work so far!
