around the villages — 1 Following the announcement at the end of last year that the Charvilbased My Cancer My Choices (see our January 2024 issue) had won The King's Award for Voluntary Service, 10 of the charity’s current longest-serving volunteers were invited to a ceremony at Windsor Guildhall where the Crystal Award and Certificate were presented by Andrew Try, the Lord Lieutenant for the Royal County of Berkshire, on behalf of His Majesty the King. The Parish Magazine - April 2024 19 Charvil's cancer support volunteers receive their King's Service Award The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK. It is equivalent to an MBE. The volunteers represent the wide range of support provided to the charity, including complementary therapists, meeter-greeters, trustees, marketing, fundraising and admin volunteers. In the citation, given by Lindsey Beard JP DL, Deputy Lieutenant of the Royal County of Berkshire, she said, 'It is difficult to capture the power and importance of this charity… Unique in Berkshire, it is clearly one of the most important and effective charities one is ever likely to meet.' The original announcement was made on the King’s birthday, following a very rigorous nomination and assessment process. My Cancer My Choices (MCMC) provides complementary therapies and support to people living with, and beyond, cancer across Berkshire. Its mission is to empower people with cancer, enabling them to make active choices to enhance their well-being, as they come to terms with their diagnosis. Specialist therapists volunteer their time to offer a range of one-to-one therapies (acupuncture, scar tissue, aromatherapy and oncology massage, art therapy, reiki and reflexology) and group therapies (mindfulness and yoga), which help manage the side effects of conventional treatment and improve mental and physical health. The charity has about 65 volunteers at four locations across Berkshire and is funded purely through donations and grants.
