Providing emotional support to cancer patients and their families
About us
We provide emotional and practical support to cancer patients. It was named after one of it's patients Alan Dumbell. He felt that although he had loving family supporting him, he still felt lonely and lost at times and to have someone to talk to that understood what it is like to have cancer or support someone through cancer would have meant the world to him at this time. Our wonderful volunteers can support patients by sitting with them at appointments or on the ward, they can provide support to the patients and their family by referring them onto relevant services, they can provide telephone support at home and we can also be there at end of life. Our aim is to be your 'pal' and be that person that can eradicate stress from the patient and their family.

Al's Pals MK have been a bit quiet recently on social media and it is purely because of the sheer work, pressures and referrals we have received We had a record 6 referrals over 2 days this week which is full on for a charity like us We are just so proud and privileged to have supported so many cancer patients and families with our support Stepping back and being grateful for the wonderful volunteers, donations and warmth from everyone involved makes us feel so special We cannot and will not become complacent, the need for our service is growing yet the funds from our grant applications remain low, we will stay positive though and continue to do what we do. Our focus will always be on our and by providing that emotional support service at any stage of someone’s cancer diagnosis will always be our priority ♥️ #cancer #cancersupport #charity #mk
