Sarah needs no support and presents her message as fully as she can

Sarah Goldie

Sarah Goldie, from Macmillan Cancer Support, told us about the origins and work of the charity. Established in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan, the charity helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can. 

Well known for the care their nurses provide Macmillan, actually, provides a comprehensive health care service and are currently developing a partnership with North East Ambulance by training paramedics so thay can provide care in the home.
