Al’s Pals, supporting cancer patients in hospital and at home

Al’s Pals provides an emotional support service to all Cancer patients in Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) and at home in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and we are now launching in Northamptonshire.

Al’s Pals was named after one of Milton Keynes Cancer Patients Alan Dumbell who received ongoing cancer treatment at MKUH.

Alan noticed that throughout his treatment as much as he was surrounded by his loving family he still felt very lonely and lost at times and he often discussed having a buddy to support him and help him where he felt things were missing. It was his legacy to have a cancer buddy scheme like this and with the passion driven by his daughter Suzanne Brown Al’s Pals was born. For 4 years we have been supporting patients in hospital and at home.

Al’s Pals is currently looking for some wonderful volunteers for their home support service. As a Volunteer you will offer support, companionship and a listening ear to any cancer patient/and/or their family.

We offer a full induction, training and ongoing support. Our volunteers are the heart of our charity and are making a difference to hundreds of cancer patients and their families. Be part of something truly amazing and inspirational.

If you feel you could benefit from this service, then please feel free to give us a call so we can discuss further how we can help.
