One of the strengths of the Centre is the help and support that our patients give to each other. The lounge/waiting area provides a friendly and informal atmosphere where patients can congregate and chat to each other.
Many new patients come to the Centre having been isolated and alone, not knowing that such a place as the Centre existed. This is where this support is vital. For knowing that there is somewhere to go where they can talk to others, who both understand and are willing to listen, can make a very big difference to many cancer patients, their family and their carers.
Patients are actively encouraged to speak to each other and form friendly relationships that are truly beneficial to all parties.
There is also a fast evolving and popular information centre. This takes the form of a library with an increasing number of books, videos and CD's appropriate to the purposes of the Centre; many relevant leaflets from all sorts of carefully chosen organisations; and this website, which has a links page with links to many national and international cancer sites.
Then of course there are the Relaxation and Meditation sessions at 1pm every day.
There are also a wide and varied selection of fund-raising events - see the home page or contact us for more information.
