Their support is for you, if you are facing a cancer diagnosis, supporting a loved one with a diagnosis, or have been bereaved by cancer.

The team at the Hope Cancer Support Centre understand how difficult it can be to make that first call.

If you have been thinking about it, please pick up the phone to speak to a support nurse, or call in to find out what the Centre does.

Their support is all about listening to you. This happens over a cuppa and a chat in our sitting room. Where you go from there is totally your choice. DRIVING PROGRAMME
