On the 6th February at 6pm, a new monthly support group will meet for the first time at Neville Parade Methodist Church in Newton Aycliffe. This group is for anyone who has cancer or has finished their treatment, and for carers who look after someone with cancer. There will be guest speakers to explain what help and support there is available from such groups as Welfare Rights, and MacMillan.
Allison White, who has organised the support group said, “There is not enough support for people with cancer. I know because I have been there. People think that once you finish your treatment you are okay but that is not true. Some people just want someone to talk to outside their family”.
If you would like further details contact Allison on 07762 258 696.
