40 years ago my (and for a short stint since) my Mum worked at the Marsden as a Radiotherapist. It's all changed a bit now but her mentor was pretty well known in cancer treatment circles back then.

@Nefarious brackets arrived in the post this morning. Thank you very much!
Name your favourite charity and I'll make a donation as a thank you.
Don't feel any obligation, but the next time you feel like throwing something in the pot, the Royal Marsden is one of my preferred causes (they pulled my mum back from the brink many many years ago).
Happens to be where my wife works. Consider it done.
Happy coincidence! Good work.
Re. The broken support - screwfix and/or toolstation sell little angle brackets like this -

Did consider something like that, but can't see how I can fit them. I'll have another go at creating a replacement support when I've sourced a few tools.

Post/PM a pic of the broken bit. There's very little on furniture that can't be fixed with mending plates and wood glue.
