Support Groups

We hold specific support groups each month for different topics.

Female Support Group

The female support group is held on the first Monday of each month from 7pm – 9pm.  In the event that the first Monday is a Bank Holiday the group will be rescheduled to the Monday after. This support group is aimed at females affected by cancer, whether that is yourself with the diagnosis or a loved one. 

Male Support Group

The male support group is held on the first Tuesday of each month from 7pm – 9pm.

This support group is aimed at males affected by cancer, whether that is yourself with the diagnosis or a loved one. 

Chronic Pain Support Group

The chronic pain support group is held on the first Tuesday of each month from 11am – 1pm.

This support group is aimed at both males and females affected by chronic pain with conditions such as (but not exclusive to):

• Fibromyalgia
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Myasthenia Gravis
• Arthritis
• Polymyalgia
• Endometriosis

Our support groups all take place in a very relaxed atmosphere. We are very informal and you can share as much or as little of your story as you want to. The benefits of attending one of our support groups are:

• Emotional Support and Validation: Sharing experiences with others who truly understand can validate feelings, reduce feelings of loneliness, and provide comfort.
• Improved Coping Skills: Clients can gain practical, lived-experience advice, new strategies for managing challenges, and insights into treating conditions.
• Reduced Stress and Better Health: The supportive, safe environment can lower stress levels, which may reduce stress-related illnesses like high blood pressure or anxiety.
• Increased Empowerment and Hope: Seeing others manage similar issues effectively fosters hope, motivation, and a greater sense of control over one’s own life.
• Enhanced Social Skills and Community: For those dealing with isolation, these groups offer a structured way to build confidence and develop social connections
