The Doncaster Cancer Support drop In Centre

The Doncaster Cancer Support drop In Centre A voluntary organisation providing support and advice on the emotional and financial issues associated with a cancer diagnosis.

We are currently able to provide one off grants for those in financial hardship. OUR FOUNDER MARIE CAYGILL WROTE... At the age of 45 in Nov. 2013 I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Breast Cancer. On diagnoses I was sent away with a treatment plan that included 3 lots of surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy & Hormone therapy. I was given various leaflets explaining the procedures & treatments I was facing and there side effects, however I was never given a leaflet to explain the enormous impact this diagnosis would have on my life. Emotionally, Physically, Mentally, Spiritually & Financially. Little did I know my life was about to change FOREVER! and not all of it for the better. My Mission for this Community is to provide along with the relevant services the following. Emotional support and guidance:

3 monthly drop in sessions which will be held at The Ragusa Centre, Ragusa drive, Rossington DN11 0YN. Our sessions run on the first and third Tuesday of every month 6pm until 8pm and the second Saturday of every month 11am until 1pm. its a safe place to talk with others to share experiences, hopes, fears and practical advice. To direct to counselling services available if required. To provide practical advice & to share experiences & ideas on combating side effects of treatments. Advice on wigs & headscarf fittings, make up etc. Diet
Coping strategies

Financial Advice and support. we are able to provide a one off payment of up to Β£300, this will be for a specific need that isnt covered by other charities. All we ask is that you attend one drop in session so we can determine what ammount of money will meet your need. We will also need a letter of diagnosis so we can release funds in a timely manner. Directing people to the relevant services for welfare, benefits & grants. Physical Support:

To provide a network of cancer buddies who will be willing to support cancer patience and their families in aspects such as Hospital visits, shopping or just a chat. All cancer patients will recieve a free luxury pamper bag filled with cancer safe products οΏ½

Why dont we charge the children to see and recieve a gift from Santa?... this is a question we are often asked, so here's the answer. We recieve so much help from our community and we want our community to know how much we appreciate it. So every Christmas we want every child to experience the magic of Christmas without their parents worrying about the cost... after all, some visits to see Santa can cost a small fortune. We want every child to have the opportunity to meet Santa, sit with him in his sleigh, have a photo and recieve a present. After all, Christmas is a time for getting together, having fun, peace, love and unity. So this Christmas bring your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews and enjoy the magic of Christmas πŸŽ…πŸ€Άβ˜ƒοΈ

You know what? We have been doing our Christmas event for approximately 8yrs now and every year I cry overwhelmed tears at people's kindness and generosity.. this year you amazing, generous people have again enabled us to make our Xmas event a reality... Your support allows us to give local cancer patients a one off payment of up to £300 to help relieve a little financial strain that a diagnosis brings... I get to witness the relief this money brings. So on behalf of every cancer patient you help THANK YOU 😊
