MACMILL AN ’ S Cancer Information and Support Centre, in Southport, has moved premises and is celebrating with an event for the public.
Previously on Scarisbrick Avenue the new centre, now at 20, Stanley Street, in Southport, will be holding its Macmillan coffee launch this Thursday (Oct 13) 10am–2pm.
The centre, set up by Macmillan and NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), supports people affected by cancer.
The launch event will be a fun-filled day with coffee and cake, a raffle, minimakeovers from Boots, hand massages from Sefton OPERA, singing from the Macmillan singing group and lots more.
Macmillan GP and NHS Southport and Formby CCG cancer clinical lead Dr Graeme Allan said: “Whether you’ve been to see us before or are inter- ested in the support we can offer to people affected by cancer, we’d really like to see you.”
The centre offers people the chance to get involved in support groups such as crafts, singing and gardening. It also gives emotional and financial support and counselling to those on its cancer recovery programme who might need it.
The group holds a Health and Wellbeing Event three times a year bringing like-minded people together. The next event is on Thursday, November 3 at 1pm at Southport Theatre & Convention Centre.
The Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre team is available Monday to Friday 10am– 4pm on 01704 533024 or email sfccg.macmillancic@nhs.net
