Activities

Cancer Support UK provides practical and emotional support to people living with cancer, both during and after the treatment period. We support people with all kinds of cancer across the UK.

Our Cancer Coach programme is a six week structured ‘self-management’ course – delivered by phone – for people living with cancer. Developed by a range of cancer professionals, the programme offers much needed encouragement and emotional support, which is fundamental to recovery. Groups are run by people who can empathise and understand what it’s like - as they have experienced cancer themselves.

Our Cancer Kits include a range of practical items for adults and children currently experiencing cancer. They have been designed by people who have had cancer themselves, to provide practical and handy items that people will find genuinely useful during their treatment.  We have Cancer Kits, Chemo Kits and Kids' Kits, which we supply, free of charge and can be ordered directly from our website.
