For information about our support services, click here.

A wide range of support services are available within our communities to help women and their families through an experience with breast cancer.

Many organisations and companies offer advice, information, products, guidance, psychosocial support and activities to enhance health and wellbeing. On our Links page we list information about a number of organisations that may be of help to you and also some good websites. 

Here we list some services, information and resources that we can recommend, either from our own experiences or from those of other women. If you have any concerns over these services and the effect they may have on your treatment and recovery plan, always check with your medical team first to ensure the service or programme is right for you.

Please contact us if we can help or if you require further information on any of the organisations and services listed here.
