Who we are
About Us
Touched by Cancer is a local support group for anyone whose life has been affected by cancer — whether you're a patient, survivor, family member, carer or friend. We meet once a month for coffee/cake on a Monday afternoon in a relaxed, friendly setting. We've applied for charity status and are currently awaiting registration.
Cancer Patients
You are not alone
Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are undergoing treatment, or are adjusting to life afterwards — having somewhere you feel understood can make a real difference.

Supporting someone takes strength
Cancer affects everyone around it. Partners, family members and carers carry their own weight — and deserve somewhere they can be heard too.

Ways to Support Our Group
We're a volunteer-run group and every bit of help makes a difference.
Come Along
Join us at our next coffee afternoon. It's free to attend with a suggested donation of £2. Everyone is welcome.
Volunteer
At the moment we are blessed with a full support team, who we've named our ambassador team. If at a later date, we require more volunteers, we'll advertise it.
Spread the Word
Tell someone who you believe may benefit. Feel free to share our details with your GP surgery, workplace, church or community group. It would be much appreciated.
