The Group is run by volunteers, who have been affected by cancer, either patient, carer, family or friend, everyone is welcome. We have a variety of information booklets and contact telephone numbers for National Organisations
There is no membership or annual fee, the Group is funded entirely by fund raising events, donations etc.
The aim of the Group is to give support to cancer patients and their carers in an understanding and caring way. The members meet twice a month, the second Wednesday evening in the month we meet at VAR in Oakham and the first Thursday morning in the month at The Samworth Centre in Melton Mowbray.
We also keep in regular telephone contact with members who are undergoing treatment etc. and visit them for a chat over a cup of tea. Members meet for meals in various local restaurants; this is a great favourite with members who live on their own. We also organise other outings such as canal trips, a trip on the Rutland Belle followed by a picnic, coach trips, etc.
