Big C announces HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, the Lady Dannatt MBE, as new Patron

Big C is honoured to announce HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, the Lady Dannatt MBE, as its new Patron.

In recognition of the work the charity does supporting local people affected by cancer in Norfolk and beyond, Lady Dannatt said “As Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk it is a great honour to be asked to be Patron of Big C. Big C is a phenomenal Norfolk cancer charity that touches and enriches so many lives across the county, and as such is close to my heart.”

A group of six adults stands in a line outside a building with large glass doors. They are dressed in smart, semi-formal clothing and smiling at the camera. The group includes three men and three women of varying ages. The background shows the building’s interior through the glass and some outdoor reflections.

Lady Dannatt has been close to Big C for a number of years, alongside a variety of other hard-working Norfolk charities with which she is involved. As a trained professional counsellor, latterly working at the Sue Lambert Trust, she knows only too well the importance of support for vulnerable people.

Karen Vincent, Chief Executive at Big C said “We are delighted and deeply honoured that HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, the Lady Dannatt MBE has graciously accepted the role as our Patron.

“As we mark 45 years of supporting local people affected by cancer, Lady Dannatt’s patronage holds special significance. This milestone follows the profound loss of our beloved President and co-founder David Moar MBE and so to have Lady Dannatt alongside us going forward means so much.”
