Special message from our Patron, Sir Michael Morpurgo

"I’m hoping against hope that we will all be able to get together one way or another for our Oracle Glory of Christmas service in December, to celebrate and support Oracle and its vital work.

We all know in Oracle how science and care can and so often come together to bring hope and relieve suffering. The whole country understandably has its attention on this hideous virus that haunts and threatens so many in this country and throughout the world.

Cancer does the same. All those who look after us, need, as Churchill once put it, ‘the tools to do the job’. We can and must help, as we always do.

Be well, dear friends, stay well.

Michael Morpurgo."

Michael has also recently recorded a piece on BBC Radio 4 about life in lockdown in his cottage in Devon.
