Our benefits advisors can tell you what you're entitled to and help with practical things like parking permits and extra money you may be able to claim.

Our cancer support specialists can listen to how you're feeling, answer any questions you may have and help you find the support you need. You don't need an appointment, just come in.

If things are getting on top of you, if you're scared, worried or feeling down, we're here. Our cancer support specialists can arrange to talk with you to see if our psychologist would be the right support for you.

Coming to the end of treatment can bring its own challenges. Our six-week course is for anyone facing life after cancer. It offers skills and techniques to support you in addressing the physical, emotional and practical issues you might face when your treatment is over. Topics include emotional wellbeing, returning to work, exercise, healthy eating and staying on track.

The workshop will help you understand cancer and the treatments available, as well as potential side effects, how to manage them and how to look after yourself. It can help you take an active role in your treatment and recovery, and give you a chance to ask questions and share your experiences with people who understand what you’re going through.

It goes without saying that having cancer can be stressful, but there are lots of things we can share with you to help make those feelings more manageable. Our six-week course will introduce you to different methods of relaxation, including: controlling anxious thoughts, meditation visualisation and ‘quick’ or emergency relaxation.

When you're diagnosed with cancer, you may have questions about what food to eat. Our nutrition workshops are a chance to meet and talk to other people with cancer, discuss healthier options and discover what suits you best.

Our Creative Writing and Expressive Art groups are open to everyone, regardless of skill or experience. Drawing, painting or writing can help you to slow down, relax and process your thoughts, and can be a great way to explore and express your feelings.

Mindfulness is the art of being aware of, and acknowledging, your thoughts and feelings. Our eight-week course will help you develop skills to manage the physical and emotional challenges that cancer brings.
