A Night to Remember: Celebrating Our Deaf Cancer Volunteers
We were honoured to host our first Volunteer Awards evening earlier in October, to recognise the incredible contributions of volunteers for our Deaf Cancer Support service. Our compère, Yvonne Cobb (BBC & ITV TV Presenter and Celebrity Cook), presented awards. We were delighted to welcome past and present colleagues and friends to celebrate these amazing individuals who make our project possible. Their hard work and compassion have made a significant difference in the lives of many, and we are eternally grateful for their support. Find out more about our service here.
