Cancer centre marks tenth birthday with tea party

Queen Victoria Hospital’s Macmillan Centre in East Grinstead celebrated a decade of providing cancer support on Friday, April 29.

The team held a tea party and were joined by East Grinstead town mayor John Dabell.

The centre was founded in 2012 to make sure that those living with cancer and their friends and family had the right information and help.

It offers a safe space for patients to explore their feelings, as well as a range of complementary therapies.

Nicky Reeves, chief nurse at QVH, said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating the QVH Macmillan Centre’s tenth birthday.

“It provides a different, more holistic, way of supporting people with cancer which is important.”

She thanked staff and volunteers for making the centre ‘a much loved and needed local resource’.
