Cancer Support Salisbury was formed in September 2019
following the closure of Wessex Cancer Trust's Salisbury Centre.
As a team of volunteers who used to work at the trust, we witnessed first hand the positive impact
this type of service had on so many people affected by cancer. So we set about creating our own.
We are a self funded, local charity, founded, and led by a committed team of volunteers offering emotional and practical support to anyone affected by cancer.
Our services include an informal weekly social drop-in each
Wednesday from 9.30am until 11.30am, and Thursday from 2pm until 5pm.
We can provide you with plenty of refreshments, a listening ear from our trained Befrienders,
Counselling, and a range of Complementary Therapies which include Aromatherapy,
Massage and Reflexology .
The kettle is always on, and we look forward to welcoming you!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have been nominated as one of the finalists in the Salisbury Journal 'Readers Choice Cash for Charity Giveaway'. We need your help by voting for us by using the tokens published in the local newspaper.It would make a huge difference to us if we were able to secure some of the £16,000 that the Journal is giving away to local charities, so your vote would be greatly appreciated.The closing date is November 20th.
THERAPIES
At Cancer Support Salisbury we
can offer you many non clinical treatments, which are provided
to all those affected by a cancer diagnosis, this includes carers,
partners, husband, wife and
family members too.
VOLUNTEERING
We rely on help from so
many people within our
community to support all
areas of our charity, no matter
how small your input, it
would be so valuable.

FUNDRAISING
We would be delighted and
very grateful, if you would love
to organise, or take part in,
a fundraising event and
help us to raise those
much needed funds.
The Cancer journey is hard and at times overwhelming.
It's normal to feel uncertain about the future and isolated.
Cancer Support Salisbury is an amazing group, with friends in it I've made for life.
I cannot thank them all enough.

"This is the most welcoming and warm group of people- every time I visit we laugh and nothing is too much trouble
Even though my mum had cancer years ago: this space offered me support to talk and feel like I wasn’t alone x"
