Cancer Support Group

Our cancer support group is open to individuals touched by any type of cancer. So whether you are currently living with cancer or recovering from treatment you are more than welcome!

The group exists to give those living with cancer, as well as their family, friends and carers, support and companionship on their cancer journey.

Our friendly group meets every Tuesday from 10:00 to 12:00am in the Community Centre. We have a mix of men and women who come along, of varying ages, and with different cancer diagnoses. Sessions are very relaxed, filled with positivity and laughter and offer a chance to chat to others in a similar position.

No RSVP is necessary, just come along! You are welcome to bring a friend of family member with you. Teas and coffees will be available.

Call Claire Cox on (01429) 271275 for more information.
