Supporting anyone to live with and beyond cancer
We are a local support group, set up to create a friendly, relaxed meeting place
About us
We enjoy getting to know each other via a wide variety of social activities and experiences, whilst also having a chat over a cuppa and home made cake. We aim to be as inclusive as possible by hosting hybrid meetings, where you can either come in person, or you can join in online.
​
Making full use of some support from Macmillan, each meeting will be broadcast via zoom using some advanced technology, a screen and projector whereby people viewing at home can interact fully with the people in the room. This allows us to support you whether or not you can be there in person.

Our Meetings
