🎉 June Highlights! 🎉
💊 We’ve been working tirelessly to advocate for recent PERT issues and were acknowledged in the updated Position Statement for clinicians and patients. News update and survey results coming soon!
👥 We completed our inaugural Family & Friends Group Therapy programme with 100% of participants recommending it to others.
📞 Our Helpline calls increased by 70% in June compared to June 2023.
🤝 We hosted 15 Natters, including the restart of face-to-face meetings for the Surrey/Sussex group.
🥗 We held a diet and nutrition Webi-Natter with special guest Yasmin Chotai De Lima and released a podcast with her on the same topic.
👋 We said goodbye to our Admin Assistant, Jackie, and welcomed back Beth as our Digital Support Coordinator.
🎤 We presented at the Midlands Neuroendocrine Cancer Services Review.
🫁 Kate participated in the ‘Be Part Of Research’ programme and the ‘SPARC-Europe for the NEN RADAR Survey,’ ensuring UK inclusion and advocating for accurate representation and Lung NETS.
🍰 Our ‘Cakes for a Cause’ event raised a total of £5668.75, providing vital funds for our support services.
❤️ None of this would have been possible without you. Consider donating or setting up a monthly donation—as little as £3 a month can make a difference – https://www.neuroendocrinecancer.org.uk/support-us/donate/
