I'm hosting one session in September at 7pm, and I hope you'll be able to join me. 
We'll share our experiences of breast cancer 'over a cuppa', and give and receive support within a confidential and peer-facilitated space.  Please pre-register for the group, there's more information below, and I'll look forward to seeing you.

What we'll do
We'll talk and share our experiences with others within a confidential and safe space.

We welcome anyone with a lived experience of breast cancer (of any age and stage of their breast cancer journey) to participate in this peer-led online support group. The group provides a welcoming space to connect with others who share similar experiences, a place to give and receive support.

The session will run approximately one hour.
