Free Transport service
Are you having cancer treatment and live in the Chesterfield, Barnsley, Rotherham or Meadowhall area? If so, our transport service could provide you free, safe travel to and from Sheffield hospitals.
Free transport service
Don’t let travel concerns prevent you from accessing the treatment you need. If you require transport between Chesterfield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Meadowhall to any of the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals sites for cancer treatment, we can help.
