Cancer Testing Services CIC

The mission statement of Cancer Testing Services CIC

Community service is paramount in our approach to providing families with both awareness and possible solutions to all too common cancers and the problems that they can bring. 

  The awareness and detection work of Cancer Testing Services CIC is driven by a passion to find early indications of prostate cancer in men and also aims to lead to the uncovering of any other cancers, regardless of gender, that, through testing with a simple blood test, might assist in this early detection and the possibility of saving or extending life.  

We aim to learn, educate and use knowledge, to reduce death from prostate and other cancers that affect adults in the community and will reduce the impact upon the wider families that cancer complications and deaths provide.

The Spike Heritage Centre (Guildford)

Mission Statement

The Spike Heritage Centre is one of the few buildings remaining from Guildford's Workhouse in the Poor Law era, which housed the forgotten classes of Victorian England.  The Vagrants and Casual Ward, known as The Spike was built in 1906 to house vagrants and low paid workers.  After the Poor Laws ended in 1929, it continued as a night hostel until the mid 1960s. The NHS took over the site becoming St Lukes Hospital, operational until the mid 1990s when the new Royal Surrey hospital was opened.  The majority of the workhouse site was redeveloped, but due to the efforts of local campaigners, the Casual Ward was saved and remains as a historic building with lots of stories to tell. Individual visitors and groups are welcome to explore this unique building with guides providing the insight about how the poor were treated in a bygone age.
