We'd like to say a huge thank you to an anonymous donor who left a large collection of Teddy bears and other soft toys with our office. We were delighted to take them to UHNM Paediatrics. Pictured here are the staff of Children's Oncology with just a few of the items! @UHNM_NHS

Just a reminder: needing help doesn't make you weak. It makes you human. #MentalHealthAwareness #CancerJourney. Reach out for support - a listening ear & a safe space to talk is available.
Here are a few reminders for you during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💡. It might be Mental Health Awareness Week, but talking about mental health and wellbeing is important all year round. What do you do to look after your wellbeing? 💭
