Firstly I would like to thank Honest John for presenting our group with a cheque for £400 which will help so many sufferers from facing Cancer alone in our local community whether it is to take them out on a day trip to just taking them for a meal.
Some people just don’t have anyone to help them so they would do without. The next group meeting is on Thursday 3rd September at Newton Aycliffe Youth & Community Centre starting at 6pm until 7.30pm. The Guest Speaker is from the British Red Cross who as well as help with mobility aids provide health and social care support like transport to and from hospitals, and home help
For more information about our Cancer Support Group please ring Allison on 07762 258696 or if you are a business and would like to help raise funds please call.
We are a mixture of ages and it’s not a doom and gloom group – we just want to make sure each patient gets the right professional help as well as helping them to get their confidence back and give them help and support.
Bring someone with you if you feel you can’t come on your own, we would make sure you are not sitting alone and left out.
Groups like ours are very rare because we cover all cancers which are now so varied.
We have just enjoyed a trip to South Shields and sat eating fish and chips watching the great Billy Ocean. It was lovely to see everyone smiling as for some it had been such a long time since they attended an event.
