We provide free and local emotional support to anyone affected by cancer in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. Clients may have cancer themselves, be adjusting to life after cancer, supporting someone with cancer, or be bereaved. Through our four cancer support centres in Chandler’s Ford, Bournemouth, Waterside (Hythe) and Newport (Isle of Wight), we offer a drop-in service, professional counselling, complementary therapies, activities, support groups and courses. We have weekly drop-in sessions in Andover and are developing new online services so local people can access support in the way that suits them best. We also run services in the heart of the community, including our popular Sing for Life choirs and transport on our Daisy Buses to help Isle of Wight and Channel Island patients get to their hospital appointments on the mainland. Our dedicated team are committed to offering free support for as long as people need it, away from a hospital environment. If you would like to support the charity, no act of kindness is too small. You could volunteer in any of our five shops, support centres or at events; follow us on social media or donate your preloved items to our shops. If you feel you’d like to make a financial contribution, you can donate online or sign up for one of the charity’s events. Perhaps your organisation could choose us as its Charity of the Year, sponsor an event or provide auction prizes. Whatever your contribution, it’ll make a huge difference to local people affected by cancer. Wessex Cancer Support, a charity registered in England and Wales Charity No. 01110216
