Allison White founder of a new group for cancer sufferers wishes to thank everyone for their support at the last two meetings held at Neville Parade Methodist Church.
A Macmillan Welfare Rights officer attended the last meeting which was very useful and informative.
The members have decided their name will be Great Aycliffe Cancer Support Group. Each month they will invite a guest speaker and will be arranging various activities to help people get their  confidence back as well as an opportunity to meet new friends and get the support they need.
Day trips or Lunch outings are vital to prevent people just sitting at home getting lonely
Allison is appealing for funds as many people diagnosed with cancer struggle financially. If any company or local orgnaisation would like to fundraise for the group or simply would just like to donate please contact Allison. Next meeting is on 3rd April when there are three guest speakers. Contact Allison on 0776 2258696.
