Our services are delivered by professional and experienced staff, and volunteers and include:
• Drop-in ~ a calm, welcoming space to meet our support team, have some time alone, or find out more about our services. Open Monday – Friday 10am-4pm no appointment necessary.
• Cancer Support Specialists ~ registered oncology health professionals who can assess your needs, develop a support plan, or liaise with your clinical team.
• Children and Young People Support ~ a specialist team who provide one to one and group support to children and young people up to age 25.
• Counselling ~ one to one talking therapy to help navigate the challenges of cancer or bereavement.
• Patient Transport ~ a door to door volunteer-led transport service to help you get to hospital appointments.
• Complementary Therapies ~ therapies that can help promote relaxation, or relieve the symptoms of cancer and it’s treatment e.g. reiki, oncology massage, reflexology, Indian head massage and facials.
