Story

The news that you have Cancer and will be embarking on chemo or immunotherapy can be devastating and overwhelming to our patients.

We want to make those patients feel cared for beyond the medical treatment that they receive, and we hope that you will join us in our mission. Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity are working in partnership with Cancer Services at Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust to launch a special project to provide Heart of Headland - Boxes of Kindness to patients receiving Chemo and Immunotherapy at our hospitals.

The boxes will contain items such as a thermometer, pill pots to organise their medications, hand creams, cotton hats, relaxation products, ginger tea, sucking boiled sweets, using a soft toothbrush, keeping hydrated, using simple products, bringing items to the unit to keep them occupied.

The team at MJ Medical believes this is a hugely worthwhile cause and will be undertaking a range of fundraising activities to support it.

Many of our team have friends, relatives, and loved ones who have fought or are fighting cancer.

As a team we work in the planning and design of healthcare buildings and so understand the importance of the lived experience of patients and their families, and how so often it is the small things and acts of kindness that can be as powerful as the treatment itself.

Starting with a bake sale, lunchtime winter BBQ and other physical challenges, our team aims to raise as much money as we can.
