The Cancer Support Centre
The hospitals look after the clinical needs and treatments of the body, but we look after the mind and the spirit – the emotional and psychological support that is really important to managing and coping, and being the best you can be whatever the situation or prognosis.
Project Overview
We support adults affected by cancer at whatever stage they come to us plus close family - right at the beginning when they are coming to terms with what has happened, through any surgery and hospital treatments or afterwards when everyone may be adjusting to a different life with different perspectives
Each person receives an individually focused therapeutic programme of 121 therapy sessions, with access to talks, workshops and groups to help their mind body and spirit. We provide the important community - the safe space where they can be in a safe place, receive help with decision making and taking back control, build back confidence and self esteem and empowering them to move forward
Why are we crowdfunding?
buildWe do not get funding from the govt or NHS, and we have to raise £3200 every week to provide the support we do, and in the current economic climate it is becoming increasingly difficult. Costs to run any events are continuing to rise whilst the ability of our supporters to give is reducing. We are hoping to raise at least £7000 to help offset event costs that amounted to more than£15,000 last year.

From 2019, whilst maintaining our specialism in sexual exploitation, we have expanded our services to include all forms of exploitation.
