💚 WOW… where do we even begin? 💚

We’ve spent some time going through all of the feedback forms from this year’s Community Cancer Health & Wellbeing Event… and we have to say, some of your words have genuinely made us stop, smile and feel incredibly proud of what we created together. 🥹💚

From people telling us how welcoming and friendly the event felt, to those who appreciated having so many services and people to talk to all under one roof — your feedback has reminded us exactly why this event matters.

And it wasn’t just an event.

It was a place to talk.
A place to listen.
A place to ask questions.
A place to find support.
A place to discover something new.
And, for some, simply a place to feel that they weren’t alone. 💚

Over 350 people came through the doors, with more than 50 organisations, services and stalls coming together to create a day filled with information, support, activities, conversations, laughter and community.

And that is something we are incredibly proud of. 🥰

A HUGE thank you to every organisation, healthcare professional, speaker, activity leader, volunteer, colleague and supporter who gave their time and energy to make the day possible.

And most importantly… thank you to everyone who came.
Whether you stayed for five minutes or spent the whole day with us, we hope you took away something that helped you, supported you or simply made your day a little brighter. 💚

But we’re not finished yet…

👇 We want to hear from YOU!

💭 Is there something you’d particularly like to see at next year’s event?
💡 Is there a service, organisation, talk or activity you think we should include?
❤️ Or perhaps you simply want to share what you enjoyed most?

For now, we thought we’d share some of the amazing photos from this year’s event 📸✨

Over 350 people joined us, with more than 50 organisations, services and stalls coming together to create a space full of information, support, advice and community.

And we couldn’t have done it without every single person who helped make the day so special. 💚

Here’s to 2027… 👀💚
