Send a cuddly Christmas ted to a child with cancer

Our warmable Christmas teddies can bring a child comfort when they need it most. Will you send a ted to a hospital bed, and give a child with cancer some comfort at Christmas?

Will you help us fill a Cancer Kit this Christmas – and deliver a smile?

Our cancer kits provide some much-needed comfort to children and adults having to endure cancer treatment. Every donation you give today will help us to fund more kits – and you’ll help us deliver a smile when it’s needed the most. Thank you.

Compassion. Comfort. Connection.

We provide practical and emotional support to people with cancer, during and after the treatment period.

We support people with all kinds of cancer across the UK. Our services are designed and delivered by people who have experienced cancer themselves – to improve the experience of others.

**Introducing two innovative new Cancer Coach digital emotional support programmes**

Cancer Coach Digital – e-Learning with a difference

It is ideal for anyone who requires more flexibility and privacy, allowing you to complete the entire six week Cancer Coach programme in your own time. Try Cancer Coach Digital here

Cancer Coach Focus Forwards – a one-hour session that provides emotional support post treatment

Have you recently completed your cancer treatment? Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or uncertain about the future? You’re not alone. These emotions are common as you navigate life post-treatment and discover your “new normal.” It’s okay to acknowledge how you’re feeling and reach out for support. Talking with others who have been through similar experiences can be incredibly helpful. That’s why we’re introducing our Cancer Coach Focus Forwards session – a one-hour workshop designed to help you move forward with confidence.

Cancer Coach

Have you finished cancer treatment? Are you struggling to adapt to your new normal? Do you feel unsupported when tackling the emotional challenges of post-treatment life?

Cancer Coach is our free support group programme for anyone who has completed their physical cancer treatment. Held over the phone and online video, groups are run by trained facilitators and take place once a week for 6 weeks. Talk to others who understand what it’s like – as they have experienced cancer too.

Cancer Coach groups are suitable for people who have previously had a stage 1-3 cancer diagnosis.

Workplace Cancer Support Training Courses

By 2030, there will be around one million people of working age living with cancer in the UK. 85% of people with cancer who were employed when diagnosed, say it was important for them to continue work after diagnosis.

It is clear that there is a huge need for every organisation to do more to help the increasing numbers of people affected by cancer who want to remain or return to the workplace.

Using our Cancer Coach knowledge, we have developed a range of courses to ensure that everyone in the UK affected by cancer feels emotionally supported in the workplace.
