Cancer Support Service (50+)
Support for people aged 50+ affected by cancer
Free, friendly support across Sheffield and Doncaster.
Living with cancer can affect many parts of your life. If you are living with or recovering from cancer, or if you are caring for someone with cancer, you might need a little extra support to help you regain your independence. Maybe you can't do everything you’d like to after a recent hospital stay? Or maybe you’re finding it harder to get out and meet friends?
Our cancer support service is free and supported by Weston Park Cancer Charity. It is targeted at people aged 50 or over in Sheffield & Doncaster who are living with cancer. We are here to help. Our team will listen to you, talk through what support is available and help you find the right next step.
