New group to support young people affected by cancer in South Lakeland
CancerCare youth workers Lou Andrews and Chris Wadeson
A new group which aims to offer fun, friendship and support for young people affected by cancer or bereavement is set to open in South Lakeland.
CancerCare is inviting youngsters aged 12 to 17 years to its Re-Fresh Peer Support Group which will meet at its centre on Blackhall Road and will offer a variety of engaging activities including arts and crafts, cooking and woodwork.
The group will be led by experienced youth workers and will act as a non-judgemental space designed to take young people affected by serious illness or grief “out of themselves” and help them make new friends and support others in similar situations.
