Cancer Lifeline situated at 44 Alliance Avenue provides a welcoming “home from home” for individuals and their families living with cancer. The organisation was set up in October 1999 by a group of women all of whom are living with cancer themselves. This is what makes the project unique. Our strong user led structure is committed to befriending, caring, listening and supporting those coping with cancer and their families.
The projects aims to assist individuals and their families to access up to date information and advice to help them cope with their symptoms and treatment. The provision of counselling, complementary therapies, benefits advice, support group sessions as well as a range of information mornings and educational classes supports individuals through the emotional, physical and psychological impact of their diagnosis. One of the clear needs expressed by users is that people want to talk to someone who has experienced the same trauma. Meeting positive role models is an uplifting experience for people affected by cancer.
