MABS Cancer Support Group Just a phone call away We aim to help ALL people affected by cancer and those around them, through our branches from Valencia to Gibraltar

HOW MABS BEGAN Jacqui Phillips MBE is President of MABS and it was her experience as a cancer patient that led her, with others, to form the group. From its inception, MABS has been registered as a charity originally for people with breast cancer in the Marina Alta area. MABS was recognised by the Medical Profession who started to send patients to them with  ALL types of cancer. They soon recognised that they were then in a position to offer a wider service than just for breast cancer, so the name was changed to its current form to be inclusive of all cancers. Since then, the group has expanded considerably with supporters and smaller branches in most towns on the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol – proof if any was needed of how necessary their work is. Jacqui was awarded the MBE in the 2005 New Years Honours List for her work with the charity. In the same year the group was awarded "The 9th October Award" by Jávea Town Hall for its work within the Community. There are only four towns or cities that give this award: Valencia, Castellon, Jávea and Alicante. Download the full text
