About the Organisation

The employer is an independent charity that provides emotional and practical support to cancer patients. It was named after one of its patients Alan Dumbell. He felt that although he had a loving family supporting him, he still felt lonely and lost at times and to have someone to talk to who understood what it is like to have cancer or support someone through cancer would have meant the world to him at this time.

Their wonderful volunteers can support patients by sitting with them at appointments or on the ward, providing support to the patients and their families by referring them to relevant services and providing telephone support at home and they can also be there at the end of life. They aim to be your 'pal' and be that person who can eradicate stress from the patient and their family.
