Did you know that in January alone, our amazing community helped us save £2,000 just by returning used crutches, frames, and walking sticks? That is an incredible result!

By returning equipment you no longer need, you’re helping us:

• Reduce waste and help the environment.
• Save vital funds for our therapy services.
• Support the next patient on their road to recovery.

If you have any equipment gathering dust at home, please drop it off at any of our hospital sites.

Further details on where you can return items can be found on our website https://www.enherts-tr.nhs.uk/services/acute-therapies/equipment/

The public consultation on proposals to move Mount Vernon Cancer Centre is ongoing until 29 March 2026.

We know some patients and local residents are asking why the cancer centre needs to move.

Mount Vernon Cancer Centre has…

✅Wonderful, skilled and committed staff
✅Green spaces
✅Fairly easy parking
✅Good transport links from London, although it's less accessible for the 2/3rds of patients from other areas

Mount Vernon Cancer Centre doesn't have…

❌Access to critical care
❌Medical and surgical support on the same site
❌ Essential back-up for patients who become unwell during treatment
❌Supporting services necessary for modern cancer treatment
❌Access to services required to treat patients for blood cancers
❌A long-term future without moving next to a main hospital

Please share your views before the public consultation ends on 29 March https://mvccreview.nhs.uk/get-involved
