HIP HIP HOORAY: East London CHOC House celebrated their 10th birthday on Friday. In 2018, the house was home to 2,717 adults and their children suffering from cancer. Regional manger Debbie Kleinenberg said she was approached to start the EL CHOC branch just over 14 years ago. ‘From very small beginnings we have grown and offer numerous programmes and services,’ she said.
