His Worship the Mayor, Mr Christian Santos GMD was recently invited by  Cancer Relief to visit their premises and learn more about the exceptional services they  offer. 

A statement from the Office of the Mayor follows below:

Hosted by Charity CEO Grainne McKenna and Chair of the Trustee Board Marisa Desoiza,  His Worship was shown around the facility and had the opportunity to speak to service users,  staff and volunteers about what Cancer Relief offers. 

Alongside the invaluable clinical support, service users are offered complementary  therapies by professionals to include exercise programs by qualified personal trainers and a  full wig fitting and wig care service by a trained hairdresser. Day Support offers individual  therapies, nurse support and group activities. Some services are also extended to families of  service users, which means that the ever so crucial support system is also supported.  

The premises themselves speak volumes about the ethos of the Charity. The bright and airy  rooms are invitingly decorated with homely touches of paintings and plants, making the  spaces comfortable and uplifting. The outdoor Tranquility Garden, veranda and patio area  can be a retreat for moments of peace and quiet. All areas are as welcoming as the staff and  volunteers themselves. 

His Worship was thoroughly impressed by the Centre and everything Cancer Relief does to  offer support to our community.
