UMEED - Asian Womens' Support Group

A welcoming group of Asian women who have cancer and who meet to give
each other support. A number of Asian languages are spoken by group
members. Some of them speak English and are also happy to interpret for
those who wish to join. The group are keen to improve their general health and
have participated in exercise programs. They have undertaken art and textile
work and enjoy trips to places of interest as well as holding an occasional fund
raising event

Above and Below the Belt - Mens Support Group

A mens group that meets every second Wednesday evening providing a
chance to listen to a variety of speakers and to give mutual support and
understanding for fellow cancer patients and carers

Bosom Friends (afternoons)

To know that life can go back to normal after a cancer diagnosis is very encouraging.
Bosom Friends meet every Wednesday afternoon for mutual support and understanding,
information and a programme of interesting events and speakers.

The group has the support and involvement of the Specialist Breast Care Nurse Service.
This was originally a breast care self help group. Members are now aware that women with
other less common cancers also have support needs and all women diagnosed with cancer
are welcome.

Bosom Friends (evenings)

This group of Bosom Friends caters for women who cannot attend a support group during
the day due to work, family or other commitments and circumstances

This group meets in the evenings and also offers support to partners of women who have
cancer

Focus on Life

A support group for men and women of working age meeting on the first Thursday morning
of each month. Speakers and discussion about everyday issues relating to living with
cancer. Partners and carers welcome
