Had a great time on trips this summer? Met new friends, hooked back up with old ones? We know, whilst being heaps of fun, your trip will also have brought back some memories about your time dealing with cancer, and that can be hard.
Our support groups are full of care, kindness, joyfulness and friendship. It's a place to learn, process and reflect and to look after your wellbeing.
The free online groups are a space where you can remember the good times with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and talk with people who understand about some of the issues it may have raised? Maybe you just want to chat to new friends who 'get it'.
The sessions of up to 10 young people are for 14-17 year-olds and over 18s, take place once a month and will be open to anyone who attends either a first-time or return trip in 2024.
"We recognised that after treatment stops, that doesn't mean the thoughts and feelings stop, and we're huge believers in looking after our wellbeing and mental health." - Susie.
