The organ and tissue donation committee at Kettering General Hospital has worked with Tesco to increase awareness of the importance of discussing your donation wishes.

And the result is a colourful 9ftx6ft panel near the entrance to the main Tesco store in Carina Road, Kettering, which reads “Tell your family how you feel about organ donation.”

The panel has been painted by a local Tesco volunteer – who has asked to remain anonymous – and who has painted panels for other local charitable organisations as part of the store’s community work.

The Macmillan Cancer Support Centre at Kettering General Hospital has received a top quality assessment award for the way it supports people living with cancer.

The centre – which has been operating since May 2022 and was officially launched by Lord Spencer in January - has achieved the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark (MQEM).

That means it has had a detailed and independent assessment and been found to have gone above and beyond to create a welcoming and friendly space that meets people’s needs.
