This #WorldCancerDay, we are highlighting the important work of The Royal Family’s affiliated charities to support those with cancer. 💚 The King has been a long-standing supporter of @MacmillanCancer, becoming Patron of the charity in 1997 when he was The Prince of Wales. Macmillan provides medical and financial support to cancer sufferers, and pushes for better cancer care. 🧡 @MaggiesCentres, of which The Queen Consort is President, provides the support cancer patients need, beyond medical treatment. This might include information about how treatment will affect the patient; emotional support and practical advice; and a place to go to meet and talk to people who are going through the same things. Speaking about Maggie’s, Her Majesty said: “I cannot imagine a more welcoming or comforting sanctuary, the light and airy surroundings - a welcome cup of tea - homemade cakes - the excellent advice, counselling and support not to mention the wonderful range of recreational activities on offer.” 🔗 Read more about the Royal Family’s work to support people living with cancer on our website.
