Mum's Memorable Recipes

Good food is at the heart of many homes, and that was certainly the case for Lisa and Phil Stratford and their three children, Sophie, Molly and Luke.

When Lisa was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the couple decided to put together a lasting legacy for their children - a cook book packed with special moments, memories, handwritten notes and of course, recipes.

What your support means

to the ANCHOR Unit

“I’ve been a patient in the ANCHOR Unit for 16 years and the progress that’s been made in cancer care and support in that time is tremendous.

When you’re in the ward, you really see the difference that Friends of ANCHOR makes, and I wanted to put something back in. We’ve been fundraising for years and we’re so happy to have raised well over £30,000 since we began."

"Cancer has affected me a lot through my life; I lost my mum to cancer and my best man had bowel cancer. Friends of ANCHOR has done a lot to improve quality of care for many people close to me.

When it comes to fundraising, I like to challenge myself; I get a lot out of challenges that I think are improbable. But the great thing about fundraising is that you can help by doing anything - it doesn’t have to be off the wall or a huge venture that costs lots of money. It can be something you love, or something small – it will all add up to make a big difference."

“I went to many chemo sessions with my mum Linda when she was a patient in the Unit. Being on the ward with her, I could see so clearly the difference Friends of ANCHOR makes. The care that is given, the time and effort, right down to the very small things. These little touches made a big difference to my mum’s time before we lost her."
