Drop-in facility
A warm welcome awaits all visitors to our centre. As well as our friendly staff you will also find up to date leaflets on a variety of subjects relating to your care. You can choose to sit in the kitchen, or lounge area, or take advantage of any good weather and sit in our fabulous walled garden area.
Our drop-in facility was created to support people living with cancer and their carer, and health professionals, and over the past 12 years we have appreciated that each person will relate to this diagnosis differently. Our drop-in facility is available to help with this process. We will listen to your story over a cup of coffee, answer any questions that you may have regarding our services, and refer you to other organisations if you need any specialist information such as benefits etc.
Our staff has training in listening to your needs, whether large or small, and will do all that they can to hold and support this need. You may also meet other people who are in a similar position, and sometimes connecting with these people can be as beneficial as a structured support group.
We also have monthly structured open mornings where health professionals can come to have a look around at our services and support programmes.
