Managed by healthcare professionals, we provide a safe, comfortable and confidential space for anyone impacted by cancer. Enabling them to get support and useful information about different types of cancer. Offering resources, signposting them to support groups and services. We can refer to other professionals or voluntary organisations. Our aim is to enable and empower patients and their carers by increasing their knowledge about services that are available to them in order to support them to live well with cancer, throughout treatment and beyond.
People newly diagnosed with cancer and their relatives or carers are invited to our monthly online health and wellbeing events for advice on dealing with physical and emotional effects of cancer. Where they will be given information about nutrition, dealing with fatigue, cancer treatments, and financial advice about benefit schemes. Throughout the year we offer regular health and lifestyle self-management programmes (HOPE) to support people after cancer treatment.
We understand you may feel anxious or find it difficult to come and speak to us. Please be assured that our team is friendly and approachable and we’re here to help you and your loved ones.
