Al’s Pals is a service offered to all cancer patients.
Al’s Pals is named after Alan Dumbell, who received cancer treatment at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
Alan noticed that throughout his treatment, although he was surrounded by his loving family, he still felt very lonely and lost at times, and he often discussed having a ‘buddy’ to support and help him where he felt things were missing. It is his legacy to have a cancer buddy scheme like this and with the passion of his daughter , Al’s Pals was born.
We provide emotional and practical support to cancer patients and their families — whether that’s sitting with them during treatment, chatting on the phone, or visiting them at home. Our mission is simple: to make sure no one has to face cancer alone.
Through our volunteers, home support service, community hub, and fundraising events, we’ve supported thousands of people across MK and we’re just getting started.
Al's Pals have been supporting patients and their families in hospital and at home in and around Milton Keynes for 5 years. By joining us for our first Gala Ball, you will be helping us to continue and grow our vital services - all whilst enjoying a fabulous night of celebrations - Buy tickets – Al's Pals 'Touch of red' Gala Ball – Hotel La Tour
