The Ulster Hospital’s Macmillan Cancer Unit welcomed staff, patients and their families as part of its annual autumnal Coffee Morning with all proceeds raised going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Macmillan Health and Wellbeing Co-ordinator Karen Kelly said, “It’s always a delight for us to host a Macmillan Coffee Morning, Macmillan work in partnership with the South Eastern Trust to offer support to all our patients affected by Cancer. It’s a lovely way for people to find out about our services and we are here to support patients and their families and anyone affected by Cancer in the Trust. We were supported by our staff who provided all the treats and some of our patients and families also baked which was really lovely to have that generosity of spirit and collaboration.”

Macmillan Partnership Quality Lead Claire Murphy added, “I’m delighted to be here today to support our Macmillan professionals in the South Eastern Trust and the Unit in the Ulster Hospital. The service here provides so much support for patients and their families who are going through Cancer and we are delighted that this coffee morning is raising funds to put back into the service and I just want to say thank you so much on behalf of Macmillan.”
