We’re thrilled to announce that Bosom Pals, our large and highly successful breast cancer support group, has won the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service!

Led by President Jaff Newton, who is also Secretary of the MKCPP, many Bosom Pals members also work closely with the MKCPP to share best practice across all areas of cancer care in the city.

It’s said that winning this prestigious award is equivalent to being awarded an MBE. So please join us in sending Bosom Pals our sincerest and fondest congratulations.
