Welcome to your Isle of Wight Cancer Support Centre
You will receive a very warm welcome at the centre, where our trained support volunteers are always available to anyone impacted by cancer. You will be given the opportunity to seek support or just simply be yourself within a relaxing, non-clinical environment, surrounded by people who have lived experience of a cancer diagnosis themselves or someone close to them.
We offer a variety of services including wellbeing activities, support groups, complementary therapies and counselling. We are experienced in supporting anyone who has been impacted by a cancer diagnosis, including patients, loved ones and carers.
If you think you could benefit from our personalised support, please drop in or call us.
