Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer.  It provides practical, medical, emotional and financial support and campaigns for better cancer care.  For further information about Macmillan Cancer Support visit www.macmillan.org.uk

Dreamdrops appeals aim to raise money to make a real difference to children and families who use hospital or specialist children's health facilities in Huntingdonshire.  Money raised will support the extras that are not covered by public funds but which make needing to use health services more tolerable for children and their families.  The Mayor has chose to specifically support Hinchingbrooke Hospital Holly Ward.  For more information on Dreamdrops visit cambridgeshirepct.nhs.uk
