Our very first Breast Cancer Support Group took place on Wednesday evening. A huge thank you to Dawn, for creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for everyone who came along 💕

Dawn brought along some amazing post surgery heart cushions, beautifully handmade by Ditsy & Stitch 😍

It was wonderful to see people connecting, and supporting each other through their journeys.

We’re so pleased to continue this group — the next session will take place on Wednesday 1st October.

Did you know that unpaid carers who are registered with us can use their Carers ID Card to access free or subsidised parking in the main acute hospitals within Devon when taking or visiting the person they care for?

This week at Memory Café, we got creative with LEGO making!

BIG thank you to Dartmouth Friday Hub inc. Dartmouth Food Bank for kindly donating the LEGO to use at our clubs.

Each team worked together to build a Fantasy Creature. We discussed our creatures names and where they live, and spoke about their superpowers, what it eats and why they visited Dartmouth.

It was lovely to do something different on a rainy Autumn morning ☔

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for coming out in this awful weather to support our clients, and for keeping us all topped up with delicious teas and coffees! ☕💛

🌟 Celebrating Kim Forsyth – Our End-of-Life Care Ambassador 🌟

We’re incredibly proud of Kim Forsyth, our Palliative Care Nursing Associate, who has recently completed the End-of-Life Care Ambassadors course at Rowcroft Hospice. This inspiring programme empowers professionals with the skills and confidence to support individuals and families through end-of-life care and bereavement.

As part of her ambassador role, Kim has developed a heartfelt project aimed at supporting families and carers during bereavement — launching in the coming weeks. Her dedication and compassion are making a real difference, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this initiative will have in our community.

The NHS has 3 national cancer screening programmes; bowel, cervical and breast cancers are all screened.

Cancer Research UK say this about the benefits and harms of screening:

We know that cancer screening saves thousands of lives each year. It can detect cancers at an early stage and in some cases, even prevent cancers from developing in the first place.

But screening is not perfect. The tests can miss cancers, and have other risks too.

Whether or not you go for screening is your choice. You should read the information in your screening invitation to help you make an informed decision. You can contact your local cancer screening helpline if you need help.

Just one more week until the first session of our new Breast Cancer Support Group!

The group is for anyone affected by Breast Cancer — whether you are newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in recovery, or supporting a loved one.

This is a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, gain strength from others, and access helpful information and resources.

Please share to get the word out there 💗

Do you enjoy supporting families and little ones? Our Baby & Parent Group is growing, and we’d love some extra helping hands! 💕

If you have a couple of hours to spare fortnightly on a Friday morning (or even now and then), we’d love to hear from you!

It’s a great opportunity if you’re thinking about careers in childcare, teaching, healthcare, or community work — and it looks fantastic on applications for college, jobs, or apprenticeships.
