Cavendish Cancer Buddies

People tell us it can be difficult to talk to others about how they are feeling.

Our Cancer Buddies are a group of trained volunteers who have either had cancer themselves or have cared for someone with cancer. Because they have been in a similar situation, they can understand what it is like to experience a cancer diagnosis.

They provide one-to-one telephone support for patients and family members for up to six months.
