About Us

People in our community are affected by cancer every day, directly or indirectly through a loved one.  At Cancer Care West our vision is that no-one should have to go through a cancer experience alone, and everything we do has this vision in mind.

We provide professional community-based practical and emotional support services, free of charge, to anyone affected by cancer.
