Cancer Support UK

Cancer Support UK is a charity providing emotional and practical support to people living with cancer, their families, and carers. The service focuses on improving quality of life by offering tailored support programmes designed to help individuals cope with the physical, emotional, and social effects of cancer. A key feature of Cancer Support UK is the Cancer Coach Programme, where trained volunteers support people one‑to‑one through regular coaching, encouragement and practical guidance to build confidence and resilience.

Cancer Support UK also runs online support groups and community forums that allow people affected by cancer to connect, share experiences and receive peer support in a safe, supportive setting. These groups cover a range of topics including coping strategies, wellbeing, and lifestyle after diagnosis.

The organisation provides information resources on living with cancer and signposts to other relevant services for financial, legal or medical support. Through its combination of personalised support and community connection, Cancer Support UK aims to reduce isolation and empower people affected by cancer to live well.
