So very pleased to say that we have achieved the best rating possible from Macmillan Cancer Support in our recent MQEM assessment! With huge thanks to the support from our Portsmouth Hospitals Charity we were able to improve our patient's environment in such a way that we've exceeded what's expected!

Come and see for yourselves!

I would like to thank every single one of our 51 volunteers and our Centre staff, as the environment can only provide so much comfort- the rest is purely down to them 💚

Hello everyone! 👋

Here's the first of a few promo videos for the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre at QAH we created with Maja Uherek one of our Clinical Oncology Consultants and Head of Radiotherapy at the Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust to help showcase what we offer and how we might help any of our Haematology and Oncology patients, their loved ones and the staff that support them.

Hope you like my appearance as the floating head!

A very big thank you to the wives of the St Thomas Masonic Lodge that came in to the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre at QAH with an amazing donation towards our Cancer Information and Support fund with Portsmouth Hospitals Charity. This money will go towards supporting our patients and their loved ones in a number of ways, be that complementary therapy supplies for lovely massages, counselling, support books for children, entertainment resources, workshops and much much more...!

Thank you for all your hardwork!

Masonic lodge has a great fundraising idea💡

The wives from St Thomas Lodge decided to have fundraising social evenings in their own homes. One of their husbands was chef and they paid for the food as if they were eating in a restaurant.

The result was a fantastic £500 donation to the Macmillan Cancer and Information Support Centre at the QA.

If you have an idea or would like help to get your fundraising idea up and running, please contact us: [email protected]
