OPAAL’s Patron, Her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland, has sent her best wishes on a successful outcome to our Silver Dreams Flagship application to BIG Lottery. The Duchess is extremely supportive of our Cancer, Older People and Advocacy work and is keen to see it extended more widely across the country. Her Grace said “I wish OPAAL every success in this application. Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer so the more support there is for older people as they deal with cancer the better. Advocacy can make such a positive difference. Good luck!”
