AT the close of National Volunteers Week, I thank all those people who have given their time and energy so willingly to help Macmillan Cancer Relief.

This dedicated band of supporters is out there doing its bit to make a real difference to the lives of those with cancer and their families.

Nationwide, around 70,000 volunteers support Macmillan and we are fortunate to have such a dedicated group in this area.

If you would like to become involved in this network, please get in touch.

Wilma Burniston,
