Newcastle Hospitals Charity and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation are entering one of the most exciting and ambitious phases in our history. Together with Newcastle Hospitals, we are building a world‑leading facility, The Sir Bobby Robson Institute, which will transform cancer research and improve the lives of patients across the Northeast and beyond.
Based next to the Northern Centre for Cancer Care at the Freeman Hospital, this incredible new facility will bring together the current Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre and the hospital’s oncology and haematology research teams, creating a united hub for innovation, clinical trials, and hope.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters, over £20 million has already been raised and a major fundraising campaign now underway to secure the final funds needed to complete the project and turn the vision into reality. To help drive this transformative work, we are expanding our team with three new fixed term roles, each playing a vital part in bringing the Sir Bobby Robson Institute to life.
