The centre is available for anyone who is affected by cancer whether that is the patient receiving treatment, carers or the worried well. The centre provides free information whether by booklets, email, telephone conversations or 1-2-1 support based on a drop in basis so no appointment is necessary. We supply a comprehensive benefits advice service provided by Citizens Advice Bureau and the Department of Work and Pensions. We run the HOPE course which enables people to cope with challenges faced after cancer treatment. Complementary therapy services are also available on an appointment basis, for more Cancer information, please contact us by e-mail or telephone.
