Cancer can affect more than just the patient, this is a vital new service coming in September! For anyone who is close to someone going through a cancer journey.

When someone close to you is facing cancer, your world changes too 🌍

We've teamed up with Ben from Orbit Counselling to offer free 1-2-1 counselling sessions for families, partners, and friends of people living with cancer.

You may feel overwhelmed, isolated, angry, anxious, depressed, or invisible. It's vital to remember that you matter, and your wellbeing is just as important.

Suitable for those aged 18+ living in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Mid Wales, these free sessions are available in person at the Hamar Centre at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, or online.
