About The Cancer Support Centre

Have you received a diagnosis of cancer or are you supporting someone who has? Don’t know who to talk to? Are you being challenged by the effects of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy? Your diagnosis? Have you finished treatment and don’t know where to turn? Do you just need some help? Then we may be able to help. The Cancer Support Centre is based in Sutton Coldfield and open to clients 3 days a week, Tuesday to Thursday 9.30am till 4.30pm. Currently attendance is by appointment only. We offer support to anyone affected by cancer. That could mean you have a diagnosis or you are supporting someone with a diagnosis. That support could be •a chat over a cup of tea in the bistro with one of our experienced volunteers, •it could be joining one of the many groups we run, •it may be accessing a unique programme of supporting complementary therapies tailored to your needs, •it may be attending some of our workshops. Whatever support you need, you choose. We believe that the impact of cancer is not just physical, and that recovery is assisted by attending to the needs of the whole person, mind, body, spirit and emotions. Our aim is to provide you with techniques that help you to support yourself on the road towards recovery. Accessing therapies, learning Self-Help techniques, taking part in Groups and Talks can all help lessen some of the distressing symptoms which may occur as possible side effects of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Side effects such as fatigue, pain, nausea, sleeplessness, anxiety or panic attacks. Our support will work alongside conventional medical interventions.
