What we do.

Apart from the written information on this site we also offer a telephone helpline**. Our support group is run entirely by volunteers so if you call and we don't answer you personally don't be worried,we will return your call that day.

Keep in touch.

You may only need some help or support once, or you may have a particular complex problem that we will try to help you with, but whatever it is your always welcome to call us as many times as you wish

How hard can it be?

Caring for someone with cancer can be emotionally and physically very tiring. Of course, you don't want to worry the person you are looking after about your own health. That's understandable, and those of us have experienced this ourselves. We can feel frustrated at times, and sad at other times but who is there for us? By offering our own experience in supporting someone with cancer, we hope to pass on our expertise and try to understand the difficulties you are facing. If you are an older carer,you may not be even seeing our website as you may not have internet access and a friend or family member may be trying to help you. We don't have all the answers and we don't have fancy offices like some carer services or paid staff!, but sharing your experiences with us may help you to understand better what you are doing and how to express some of the difficulties you are facing. If the person you are caring for is dying, it gets even harder, but some of us have had that experience to and have learnt and been supported through this difficult time. We all hope your journey as a carer goes well, but if you feel the need for someone else to talk to...give us a call, because we care.
