We offer a wide range of up-to-date information resources covering most aspects of dealing with a diagnosis and living with and beyond cancer.  Drop-in to browse the information room or call us if there is something you would like us to send you or a family member.

Local Support Groups

The Centre can direct you to a number of local support groups.  They may help you and your family cope with an initial cancer diagnosis and treatment. They may also be a source of support throughout your personal journey.  We also hold details of national support groups, self-help groups and helplines.
