A Northwood cancer charity has brightened up its centre in the Mount Vernon Hospital thanks to a donation of paint.

The relaxation room at the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre was in need of redecorating, and has benefited from a burst of colour from the Dulux Decorator Centre in Uxbridge.

The centre sees more than 20,000 visitors a year, providing support for people affected by cancer through a range of services including counselling, complementary therapies and workshops.

The relaxation room is a vital part of the centre with relaxation classes three times a week.
