The Fountain Centre – your local cancer charity Charity Number 1089086 April 2020 | Issue No.34

Unprecedented Times – that’s a phrase being used a lot at the moment, and it couldn’t be truer for all those of us too young to remember the 2nd World War. We hope this edition of the newsletter will be a happy reminder of some great things which happened before the world was turned on its head by Coronavirus – and a look ahead to when life returns to normal. Which it WILL do. It’s the stuff in the meantime we all have to find a way of coping with. Please be assured of the love and care of all the staff and volunteers at the Fountain Centre – we miss you!

Welcome back, James

When we get a really big donation (not often!), we like to make a really big fuss about it. And to make a fuss, it’s good to have a really big star on hand, so it was great to know that our patron James Cosmo was happy to help. James has been ridiculously busy – as some of you may have noticed, in His Dark Materials and The Name of the Rose and Hold the Sunset and The Durrells on TV, Ben Hur, Whisky Galore and Wonder Woman in the cinema, and over 20 other projects in the last three years. But luckily there was some space in his diary, and he was able to come along to meet our very generous supporters. Martin Read, James Cosmo MBE, Gary and Manjit Smith Gary and Manjit Smith handed over a cheque for £13,300, which crisis is over. They said it was queen of social media, was brilliant. Gary was Master of their most successful fundraising which has done very well for the Lodge of Perfect Harmony year ever, which is good to know. us.

She took matters into her own hands...... "Well, I decided to go out running to mark what would have been the day of the half marathon sporting The Fountain Centre’s fundraising vest in honour. "Here are the before and after photos, and yes I did manage just over 13.3 miles. As you can see, my own local route was a little muddier than a road-based racecourse! It also involved multiple hills, where the previous half I accomplished in October didn’t even have a curb to climb and the only mud was in the Race Village, so 7 minutes slower was hopefully a respectable time for today?!! "Hope to achieve an even better finish time if and when the Fleet event is rescheduled....."

It seems like forever ago, but we were thrilled to be part of the launch of the Royal Surrey’s Mobile Chemotherapy Unit at the end of February. Our therapist Tina Gardiner has her own treatment room and will provide therapies for the patients who are receiving their chemo onboard once the service is reinstated (it is on hold at the moment, of course). It was a super event, with representatives from Lloyds Pharmacy and the Welsh cancer charity Tenovus, who are partners in the project, and Morrisons Supermarket, who will be hosting the weekly visits. And it was a great pleasure to meet Dame Judi Dench, the Guest of Honour, who formally opened the service. She seemed to really We also had another visitor.

The money has been used to fund the new therapy room, enabling us to furnish the room with all the equipment we need. A huge thank you to Vinci UK Foundation for supporting us, and also to the Tesco Centenary Fund, whose grant of £15,000 will pay for Tina for a year.

Don’t forget to flutter Nearly 30 FC supporters are helping to raise over £1000 a year for the Fountain Centre by playing the Guildford Community Lottery each week. Tickets cost £1, and 50% of all their contributions comes to us. Signing up is easy – if you would like to take part, go to www.guildfordlottery.org/support/the-fountain-centre
