Achievements and Performance
Despite 2021 and 2022 belng without lockdowns
following the pandemic, It has seen challenges wlth the
public still being wary of Covld19 but we have continued
to grow and continue to offer more support than ever to
our members and their families.
We still continue to offer support to anyone with any
cancer diagnosis and this has enabled us to help and
support all genders and race. We continue to be
recognised by the local Cancer Unit at our local hospital
as a much needed support network for cancer sufferers
both through and after treatment and are recommended
by them to anyone with a diagnosis and are continuing to
promote our services by attending the hospital regularly
to raise awareness.
Our ability to offer first hand knowledge, advice and
friendship through these unprecedented times to cancer
sufferers has been of great benefit to our members and
their familieslfriends within the community.
Our drop in centre is now being utilised as our office and
for members to visit and has been open to the public from
April 2021. The difference that the charity has made to
our beneficiaries is that they continue to have both a
private platform and are able to discuss their treatment
and fears and this also helps with their general mental
health and wellbeing. Wider benefits are also seen by the
support that we can offer to those affected by cancer of
their loved ones and relatives.
The Charity has been holding regular face to face
meetings with group members to provide advice,
friendship and support through and after a diagnosis.
We hold awareness events and offer awareness
presentations within companies to promote self
awareness, self examination and the early detection of
cancer.
We continue to assist members with taking them to and
from hospital and GP appointments and providing
transport to and from meetings for members who do not
have transporL
We also continue to provide a care pack for those
undergoing treatment which is provided free of charge.
We also provide telephone support, home visits and 2417
support via our private forum.
We are proud to say that during 2022 we were able to
provide a retreat for our members at our caravan
purchased early in 2022. This has been a welcome
addition to our services and provides a safe haven for our
members to get away with their families during and after
treatment.
We continue to hold face to face meetings at our drop in
centre and strive to support both male and females with
any cancer ensuring that they do not feel alone and have
like minded people to talk to and discuss their fears and
anxieties.
