☕🌸 Breast Cancer Support Coffee Group – Thursday 26 March

Take a moment for you and join Lynne for our next Breast Cancer Support coffee morning on Thursday 26 March at 9.30am, held at Mokaba Café.

These gatherings are a gentle, welcoming space to connect, share, laugh, breathe, and simply be with others who understand the journey — whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, post‑treatment, supporting someone you love, or just needing a friendly face.

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, and everyone is welcome to drop in. Come for the kōrero and enjoy a relaxed morning with people who get it.

🌸 Look for the pink flower on the table — that’s us.
No RSVP needed — just wander in when you’re ready.
