We'd like to say a huge thank you to an anonymous donor who left a large collection of Teddy bears and other soft toys with our office. We were delighted to take them to UHNM Paediatrics. Pictured here are the staff of Children's Oncology with just a few of the items! @UHNM_NHS

Celebrating our amazing Volunteers #UHNM and the service we provide for those affected by cancer.

This month, we’re running sessions to support life after cancer treatment - from journaling and nutrition to peer support and a workshop on how to support others. Whether it’s your own path or someone else’s, we’re here for you.

Volunteers Week is the perfect opportunity to celebrate & recognise the hundreds of volunteers who support the Trust every year. It’s a chance for our team to say thank you to the amazing humans who give up their time to support our work. We couldn't do it without you! #UHNM

Our centres are closed during the Bank Holidays and will re-open on Tuesday 22nd April. Should emotional, financial or practical support be needed, contact the National Macmillan Cancer Support Charity - they're open 8am-8pm every day.

Sensory Toys can be important tools in making sure some neuro diverse Patients are comfortable and relaxed enough to be treated. That's why we were happy to deliver some kindly donated 'Wriggle Slugs' to Ward 218 and to Children's Emergency Unit (Staff pictured below) today.

We were pleased to make a drop off of some Easter goodies from both Keele Welcome Break @welcomebreak and @uk_tlf The Lewis Foundation today. Our Chemotherapy Outpatients and Haematology Inpatients at the Cancer Centre always appreciate your generosity- thanks again.

Brain tumours are indiscriminate, they can affect anyone, at any age. One in three people knows someone affected by a brain tumour, we are determined to change this. Share our AI action figure to raise awareness and help raise awareness 💛 #TogetherWeWillFindACure.

We've had another visit from our friends at Keele Services with some Easter goodies for distribution by our team. Here's Kim (L) who attended with Jonathan (behind the camera) with our Amber. Thank you for your support- as always- to everyone at @welcomebreak
