Window on Support

This evening been in Yiewsley and was good to see the Community Cancer Centre where I used to spend a lot of time volunteering.....The centre is a patient run centre on Fairfield Road... a great initiative by patients to support one another on the journey that Cancer brings..They offer not only buddy support but holistic therapies and practical help signposting. 

Love this window that one of our patients bequeathed.... looks so attractive.... 

Noticed the centre is putting on some "when you are ready to return to work" post treatment workshops.. This is in response to the Survivorship report...think was 2013 - I have a copy somewhere in my study area but the gist of it is that the welfare cannot afford to support on benefits if a survivor could return to some paid post...!!! The Welfare in the UK is a driven by different cogs in the wheels these days...!!!!!!
