Last year (2024) was my first foray into the Edinburgh Macmillan Art Show as a volunteer and I thoroughly enjoyed the creativity, the artistry and camaraderie of the exhibition. So much so that I wanted to become more involved and am now part of the committee on the Events Team. The work Macmillan Cancer Support do is essential, the charity and very foundation of Macmillan touches so many in such a positive way – I am delighted to be part of it.
