Message From MacMillan:
On behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support we would like to thank everyone at Connect Vending and your suppliers for raising a fantastic £500 at the company barbecue this summer. The money raised will go towards funding some of the vital services we supply to help people affected by cancer.
By being involved in Connects barbecue you have helped us to support people who have been affected by cancer, people like Carole:
“When I didn't know who to turn to, Macmillan stepped in. Kate, my Macmillan nurse, dispelled my fears before I went for my mammogram. And after treatment, I received lots of helpful information from the Macmillan CancerLine.'
