For many people, Velindre has been part of some of life's most challenging moments. 💙

As we celebrate 70 years of care and hope, we'd like to hear from patients, families and carers who have a connection to Velindre Cancer Service.

Maybe it's a member of staff you'll never forget, a moment that helped you through treatment, or a memory you'd like to share with others.

Your story is our history. 🤝

Come along to our Summer Jambori today for more free family fun 💚☀️

You'll find the team at the Velindre Roundhouse today (August 26) from 10am to 1pm.

These jamboris are just one of many events that makes up our Hefyd programme. Hefyd is our community benefits initiative as part of the new nVCC project that invests in and develops a series of programmes including arts, green social prescribing, sustainability and working with children and young people.
The nVCC will enable us to deliver improved outcomes through world‑class cancer treatment, enhanced diagnostic capability, and greater access to innovation, training and research.

Our new home is more than just a building. It’s about transforming the way we deliver cancer care for people across Wales, improving experiences, supporting our workforce and ensuring we are ready to meet the challenges of the future.

Join us at 19 Park Road in Whitchurch! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Bydd ein CGFn yn darparu canlyniadau gwell gyda thriniaeth ganser o safon fyd-eang, gallu diagnostig gwell, a gwell mynediad at arloesedd, hyfforddiant ac ymchwil.
Mae ein cartref newydd yn fwy na dim ond adeilad. Mae'n ymwneud â thrawsnewid y ffordd rydym yn darparu gofal canser i bobl ar draws Cymru, gwella profiadau, cefnogi ein gweithlu a sicrhau ein bod yn barod i wynebu heriau'r dyfodol.

Did you know❔

If your care team give you a green prescription (WP10), you can take it to your local community pharmacy to have it dispensed.

Many supportive medicines are available closer to home, helping you avoid unnecessary waiting at the Cancer Centre.

If you're unsure where to collect your medication, please ask a member of your care team. 💚
