Aim : Extending support to people going through life-threatening illnesses
Need : When people first find out they have cancer or other life threatening illnesses, they may feel overwhelmed, vulnerable and alone. Spiritually, they may be confused. While under this stress, many people must also learn about and try to understand complex medical treatments and then choose the best one.
To provide : - a measure of comfort and an opportunity for emotional and
spiritual grounding and informed decision making
- an opportunity to express feelings, talk about fears and concerns
- an opportunity to ask questions from people who are experienced, knowledgeable and objective
- support, understanding and hope through the volunteers who may be
cancer survivors themselves and have gone on to live productive lives
Members : - people recently diagnosed with a life threatening illness
- people undergoing treatment
- people completed treatment but can benefit from mutual support
Meet : Every first Saturday of the Month from 10am - 11.30am
