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 £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 �
