CancerCare Therapy Room Donation

3 MINUTES READING TIME

We always see Christmas as a time to give something back. CancerCare is a charity that supports people in the North Lancashire and South Lakeland areas, at times in their life when they need it most and have been affected by Cancer. We have had the privilege of being able to offer a little something to the charity every year since 2010. On Monday this week we delivered a cheque for £450 and a range of children’s toys and musical instruments to compliment the new Children’s therapy room.

Peter Harrison, FGH Managing Director, would like to extend a thank you to our front line team who volunteered their time at recent CancerCare events; this is what enables us to make the donation. Alison commented, “Many of the children have been requesting musical instruments for a while. These are a fantastic addition to our therapy room. Thank you so much for all your continued support”. Olivia commented “I have heard a lot about FGH’s work that they do outside of the traditional security environment. So on Monday it was great to meet some of the team at CancerCare and understand the small part we play in the fantastic work they carry out. Working at Santa Dash was great, and it was good to hear we had a record number of Dashers taking part in 2017!”.

Earlier in 2017 CancerCare opened up a new centre in Barrow-in-Furness. The centre has seen its’ work double in the past six months alone and in October they gave 80 treatments out to those in need. Established and helping local families since 1983, they now have centres in Lancaster, Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness. In 2016, 1 in 3 people effected by Cancer utilised the services at CancerCare, that are all free of charge to those who need them.
