This is for anyone with cancer who plays an important role in a child’s life – parents, grandparents, carers and more.

You’ll get:

• Support from others in a similar situation

• Ideas for age-appropriate conversations

• Confidence in talking to children about illness

• Resources kindly funded by Macmillan @Macmillan

• Time to ask questions and share experiences

We also offer separate sessions for patients living with an incurable cancer diagnosis, including follow-up support.

If you can’t make these dates or venues, alternative options are available.
