A charity which supports people living with cancer is expanding its reach after opening new offices in Telford.
Lingen Davies Cancer Fund has moved into Meeting Point House, in Southwater, which is already home to a number of charities and community organisations.
Naomi Atkin, CEO of Lingen Davies, said the move was an exciting time for the charity as it looked to build on the existing supporter base in the town.
“This year marks the 45th anniversary of Lingen Davies being established to bring cancer services to Shropshire,” she said. “Since then we have a long history supporting patients throughout Telford, Shropshire and Mid Wales who have been impacted by cancer.
“We now have established hubs in Mid Wales, Shrewsbury and Telford where our community can come and meet us, discuss how they can support us, seek advice and support, and find out about the many holistic therapies we deliver which are free for patients.
“We have lots going on and working closer with the community in Telford is a key part of our work as we look to the future.”
Wayne Jenson, CEO of Meeting Point Trust, said Meeting Point House was a popular base for charities due to its location and facilities.
He said: “We are very pleased to welcome the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund to Meeting Point House.
“We are already home to a fantastic community of charities and organisations, and we hope the Lingen Davies team are settling into their new office well.
“As well as being a great location in the heart of Telford, we have recently upgraded our range of facilities, including our suite of meeting rooms and break-out areas which are regularly used by charities and community groups, along with businesses.”
