Back in June Helen Nicel won the Watford Area Arts

Back in June Helen Nicel won the Watford Area Arts Literary competition, and came second in the arts competition by popular vote. She decided to use the prize money to buy a piece of art and donate it to Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
She was delighted to hand over the art work today with the artist Helen Lack, who also donated a painting to be hung in the centre. Thank you to @watfordcouncil and #WatfordTogether for donating the prize money.
Both Helen Lack and Nicell are patients of Mount Vernon and this is a thank you for the amazing work they do.
