Have you been affected by Cancer? We are here to offer support to everyone affected by Cancer, whether you have cancer yourself, or know of someone who does. We offer a warm, friendly environment for everyone to come and have a chat, discuss any issues, and get support from other patients and families affected by Cancer. On the last Friday of every month we will be hosting talks/information sessions, bringing various professionals from NHS, Macmillan, and local authorities into our centre to answer any questions or offer advice. No need to book, just pop along for a chat.
About our Health Referral Schemes?
Did you know?... The CEO of the NHS, Simon Stevens has said ‘physical activity is a miracle cure, no other medication or drug prevents and cures more conditions’.

That is why we are proud to offer an extensive Health Referral programme to help prevent, maintain and cure illness, injury and mental health conditions. All our health referral programmes are designed to improve the quality of life for those on our schemes.
