Who we are

Since 1981, the charity has funded many developments in cancer care services including clinical elements in the early days, by providing mobile screening units for example. The charity’s purpose has evolved to encompass non-clinical cancer care services and it is only as a result of community generosity that this has been possible.  Our Services Team now provide local, free counselling and complimentary therapies, access to a hardship fund providing grants to alleviate unexpected financial difficulty and information from a broad range of literature.

What we do

Our Vision: “To provide effective, local support and information for all people living with or affected by cancer.”

At our support centres you will be warmly welcomed by our trained volunteers who will offer you a friendly face and a listening ear as well as a hot drink and a chance to ‘step off the world’ for a little while. They will not be judgemental in any way and will always keep whatever you say in the strictest confidence. We lovingly refer to these volunteers as ‘befrienders’.

Why we need you

With thanks to the generous public we are currently supporting people living with or affected by cancer through local, free counselling and complimentary therapies, access to our hardship fund that provides grants to alleviate unexpected financial difficulties, and through our broad range of informative literature. We rely on the generosity of our supporters in order to provide our free support to people living with cancer. Our incredible fundraisers make a real difference to the lives of local people living with cancer. Whether you’re planning to climb a mountain, jump out a plane or hold a bake sale, we think you’re amazing!
