Cancer sufferers in Bradford could soon be getting help - via a new website.

Three Bradford men, including two who are being treated for cancer, are setting up the website for the Cancer Support Centre in Daisy Bank, Heaton, with the help of a Millennium award.

Colin Sloane, Chris Pilmoor and Steve Davis have landed the £6,000 grant from C2M, the Centenary to Millennium Project which provides cash for community projects.

Mr Sloane, 39, who is being treated for bladder cancer, said: "Basically, the centre is fantastic and not enough people know about it. It is a place where you can come for advice or help and you meet people.

"I thought launching a website would be beneficial to both the centre and cancer patients, telling them what facilities are on offer," said the father-of-three.

"My type of cancer is not particularly life-threatening but I have been in and out of hospital for the past six years. I just think the centre has been wonderful and want to give something back."

Chris Pilmoor, 34, from Great Horton, who has Hodgkinson's disease, will be shooting a video to show people what the centre offers.

"Looking at a brochure tells you a certain amount but video is a much stronger way of showing what the centre offers," said the former school caretaker.

"When I started to come here after my cancer was diagnosed I was very apprehensive.

"But I have found it to be a godsend. There is so much help given here, with benefits, counselling, and different groups meeting here, that now I feel like part of a big family."

Steve Davis, from Laisterdyke, who has been teaching art at the centre for the past seven years, is planning to take groups on field trips.

"Art is a very therapeutic way of dealing with this illness and the award will fund trips around the Yorkshire Dales and places of beauty nearby.

"At the moment the students sit in a closed classroom and do still life. It will be a new experience to sit outside and do the pictures."

Extracts of both the video and students' art work will appear on the website.

Sandra Hunton, director of the centre said she was overjoyed at proposals for the website.

"I think it is wonderful and it is going to open up new possibilities for Colin and be great for the centre in terms of giving information and enabling patients to keep in touch. Good luck to them."
