Our Cancer Wellbeing Centres are a space to sit, talk or listen, but also a space to join a social activity or talk to a trained professional. The centre teams are always on hand to provide support to those diagnosed with cancer, undergoing treatment or living with and beyond cancer.
The support they offer across the centres would not be possible without charitable funding. A donation to the Cancer Wellbeing Fund will mean we can keep running our day-to-day support services for years to come. Supporting those who need us most, and the friends and family members closest to them.
