Lymphoma Action charity have won the 2021 Karen Van Rassel Leadership Award.
Lorna Warwick, Chief Executive Officer at the Lymphoma Coalition said this:
“Lymphoma Action admirably responded quickly and effectively to the COVID-19 crisis, expanding and modifying their service delivery to address the issues the pandemic caused for those affected by lymphoma. This included ensuring people with lymphoma and their loved ones had access to the most recent information on COVID-19 and its impact on their care; working collaboratively with charity partners to influence policy and advocate on behalf of people with lymphoma who were classified as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable to COVID-19; modifying their services to support healthcare professionals whose work was deeply impacted by the pandemic, and focusing on how they can help alleviate health inequalities. The Charity also took care of their staff team by ensuring practices were in place to protect them from COVID-19, but by also adding resources and supports to help them with their wellbeing through difficult circumstances. As a result of their well-planned, strategic efforts, Lymphoma Action increased their reach and were able to support more people from greater distances”.
Ropinder Gill, Chief Executive at Lymphoma Action adds:
“We are truly grateful for this award, as we know there are so many deserving organisations in the Lymphoma Coalition dedicated to supporting the lymphoma community. The pandemic has been tough for people, for those affected by lymphoma and for our staff. I am so proud of how the team here have worked to provide the best information and support that they could, driven by a real focus on the job we’re here to do for people affected by lymphoma. This is a wonderful recognition of all their dedication.”
Lymphoma Action is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma, the fifth most common cancer in the UK.
