Wessex Cancer Trust’s ambition is a future where everyone affected by cancer receives person-centred care that empowers them to live well with and beyond cancer.  Through supportive care and information, we seek to improve the emotional and physical well-being of people affected by cancer, within their locality.

Every year around 23,000 people are diagnosed with cancer within the Wessex region. A diagnosis can be a shock and have a huge impact on an entire family. Wessex Cancer Trust helps and supports anyone affected by cancer, regardless of age, gender or type of cancer.  Our dedicated team are committed to offering free support for as long as people need it, away from a hospital environment.

At all our cancer Support Centres, clients are welcomed by volunteer befrienders who are equipped to provide information, support and a listening ear. A team of specialist counsellors are on hand help deal with the emotional impact of cancer, and complementary therapies aim to improve well-being, help with pain management and increase self-confidence.

We provide health and well-being information, exercise programmes and courses to help you move on from cancer.

Each year Wessex Cancer Trust reaches over 8,000 people in our local community in the South of England, with your help we can continue to offer these services free of charge to those that need them most.
