what we do

 

These are just a few of the services we provide:

 

Convenient Monday to Friday opening times:
No appointment is necessary unless you require one of our complementary therapies or counseling.

An Information library & Internet access:
Understanding what is happening to your body is an important part of dealing with the diagnosis/prognosis. The CCC has a library of books, leaflets and videos that is constantly expanded to cover as many clinical areas as practically possible and also has specific information for children and minority groups.

Specialist services for patients, carers, their families and anyone who is affected by cancer.

Complementary therapies include Reiki Healing, Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Relaxation and Meditation Classes.
The benefit of these therapies to cancer patients, their families and carers are well understood and is part of palliative care

Workshops:
Macmillan programme; "Living With Cancer", complementary therapy days, Chill Out Days and we are continuously adding new workshops - why not suggest one?

Counselling:
On site at our centre or visiting clients in their own homes if they are unable to come to the centre

Befriending Support service for cancer patients and carers:

This service is provided 7 days a week and we provide…

  • trained volunteers to help patients and carers better manage their situation
  • identification of the needs of the patients & carers with possible solutions
  • utreaching to the disabled and housebound through home visits
  • organised breaks for informal carers (through partnership)

 

Support groups:
We currently have 2 support groups running. We have a Monday coffee morning for ladies that have been affected by cancer, in particular breast cancer. This is every Monday morning 10:30am-12pm. It consists of ladies chatting about their experiences and chatting about general topics. Once a month we have a guest speaker come along.

We also have a M.O.T support group for men that have been affected by cancer, in particular prostate cancer. This group meets on a Wednesday afternoon once a month. It consists of men talking about their experiences and general chit chat.

Both support groups are open to anybody that had been affected by cancer, so this includes patients, carers, relatives and the bereaved.


If you would like to know specific dates for the support groups or any further information, please contact the centre.
