It was great to host the Macmillan “Thanks To You” Awards a couple of weeks ago! ✨⁣

“The awards provide the opportunity to say a huge and well-deserved thank you, and to celebrate the outstanding contributions of those who give their time, energy and experience to Macmillan and to people living with and affected by cancer.” 💚⁣
⁣
We were moved hearing the stories from all of the guest speakers and winners, and were honoured to be able to host this lovely event at The Old Library! ☺️⁣
