We know that not everyone affected by cancer can access information online. That is why we are developing our community engagement activities so that we can reach you in your home town, near your treatment centre, at your community centre or during support groups. Our community team are currently working in Edinburgh, Lothians, North and South Lanarkshire and Fife.
Our community team would be delighted to see you if you are interested in finding out more about cancer support and information.
Specifically designed for cancer patients in active treatment and recovery, and their carers, family, and friends.
Join us in the James Watt Building at Heriot Watt in Edinburgh, for our Health and Wellbeing Event.
