Community Intro

Community Impact

We are committed to not only to providing a first-class cancer centre, but also to creating significant social value for the local community. 
 
This is where you will be able to follow all the fantastic community initiatives which the Acorn team, together with its supply chain and partners, are organising to have a positive impact on the economic growth of Wales. 
 
Being the best neighbour possible is a critical aspect of our work, as we strive to fulfil the needs and expectations of our clients and stakeholders while maximising the value of every Welsh Pound spent. This commitment is at the forefront of everything we do on this project.
