Trustee

Andria Sylvester

Having worked at the Mid North Coast Cancer institute for 16 years as Senior Oncology Social worker I was delighted to be invited to become a Trustee when I retired.

I was instrumental in setting up the framework and procedures for assessing cancer patients’ needs at MNCCI and the speedy delivery of financial assistance for them from the CANDO Trust.

After the emotional shock of a diagnosis, we know that the financial impact of treatment is the most significant source of distress for most cancer patients.
I now enjoy liaising closely with MNCCI social workers to support CANDO in providing speedy and effective assistance directly to our patients.
