About us

We’re working towards a future where everyone in Wessex has access to personalised support that empowers them to live well with and beyond cancer

Every year, around 20,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the Wessex region. A diagnosis can be a shock and have a huge impact on an entire family. Wessex Cancer Support offers free and local emotional and wellbeing services to anyone affected by cancer. Our professional team is committed to offering support for as long as you need it, away from a hospital environment.

Here for you since 1981.
