We have leaflets and booklets on many types of cancer and blood conditions. We also have information about treatment, side effects, and living with or beyond cancer. You’ll find helpful resources on work, money, and other important topics. We can also help you find trustworthy information online.
We can support you with practical concerns. This includes worries about work or treatment side effects. If you’re worried about money, we can refer you to our welfare and benefits team
We offer a wellbeing programme with workshops, courses, events and support groups. These are for people affected by cancer or blood conditions, some are available for family and friends too. They are designed to help you cope with the impact of your diagnosis and treatment. They’re also a chance to meet others and share experiences

Patient feedback
I was in shock, looking for information... I came in and spoke to a specialist. It was the start of something incredibly supportive.
Time to sit, gather thoughts, with a cup of tea. It feels safe here. The team are around if and when you need them. It is a wonderful space.
Great to have a place to simply ‘be’ and feel like I can just talk if I want to or not. Thanks for being so caring.
