We've done it!
The Centre has gained top marks in our re-assessment for the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark (MQEM) Our Centre has been given a grade of five which is classed as "Excellent".
The MQEM is used for assessing whether cancer care environments meet the standards required by people living with the disease. We first gained this award in August 2012 and received a grade of four which was classed as "Very good".
"The award was given to us in recognition of the fabulous environment of our building. We are awarded every three years and it helps to ensure people affected by cancer are treated and supported properly.
If standards drop below a certain level, they will take the award away from us, but after they have inspected our building again we not only retained the award but we also bettered it.
We are absolutely delighted. A big thank-you to our team of volunteers who have helped work towards improving our services we provide. The teamwork, dedication and commitment from our volunteers is fantastic. It is hard work but is very rewarding. We're here so that people don't feel alone"
