The aim is to provide a safe, supportive environment in which women with breast cancer diagnosis can have fun, laugh and support each other, through cancer and through life. Our meetings are determined by the needs of the women currently attending the group. No two meetings will be the same. So, one month we could be chatting whilst drinking coffee and eating cake (a common theme throughout our groups) and the next we could be doing aqua aerobics/candle decorating/wine tasting.

Why the community needs us
During and after treatment breast cancer patients can often feel isolated and misunderstood. Our group gives them the opportunity to meet others who have been through similar experiences and understand them and their needs. Our members make lasting friendships and can feel supported whilst offering much needed support themselves.

Our impact on the community
We currently have over 100 members who use our group in different ways, by attending a meeting or by posting on our online chat group.
