The Duke of Rothesay has visited a cancer support charity as it celebrates its 30th year.
Charles met volunteers, staff and patients at Clan Cancer Support in Aberdeen. He was greeted by Lord Provost of Aberdeen George Adam and Aberdeen City Council chief executive Valerie Watts as he arrived at the centre in Westburn Road.
The charity offers free comfort, support and information to anyone affected by cancer. It moved to the new site in November 2011. Set up in 1983, it celebrated 30 years on September 25.
Charles met volunteers at the centre’s drop-in area and chatted with Clan Cancer’s hairdresser before touring the library. He was shown the children and families’ department by chief executive Debbie Thomson and met service users.
Charles spoke with patients receiving complementary therapies and observed a relaxation session.
He also toured the adjacent Clan Haven accommodation for patients and their families who travel from outside Aberdeen for appointments and treatments in the city’s hospitals.
Unveiling a plaque to mark his visit, Charles said: “I’m thrilled to be able to come here today and see this absolutely remarkable place for the first time, but also tohelp celebrate the 30th anniversary.”
