She continued; “I would like to thank all KHT staff members for their kindness throughout 2017 to assist with this great cause.  We wish Macmillan all the best with their continued fundraising and support, and commend them on the incredible work they undertake”

We have funded Breast, Colorectal and Oncology Macmillan Nurses as well as other key posts which provide vital support to patients and to the smooth-running of cancer services on Island.”

Jan continued; “We’re very grateful to the staff at Knox House Trust for their efforts in raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support which will help us to continue supporting those living with and beyond cancer and their carers.”
