Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of health','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

During or after a diagnosis of cancer and treatment, many people feel angry, fearful, isolated or traumatised, anxiety, stress and loneliness are heightened and the opportunities for support through the more traditional routes have diminished over time. . TCS was set up to meet these unmet needs. Our befrienders offer on-going professional support and our therapist offers counselling and therapies for those with more pronounced challenges. We also run a monthly cafe to bring clients and the wider community together for activities and support.

Beneficiaries: 'People with disabilities or health problems','Other defined groups'
