We are a registered charity no 1187791
Our charitable objectives
To relieve the needs and preserve and protect the good health of people affected by myeloma, residing in the West Lancs and Merseyside area, their families and carers, through the provision of a support group and such other activities, services, advice and information as the trustees deem fit with the aim of facilitating the best possible care of such persons and raising awareness of myeloma. We also promote the early diagnosis of myeloma in our community, we do this by raising awareness at public events and by supporting primary healthcare training. Our support group consists of people with similar challenges who have mostly found ways to live with myeloma in a positive way. It can be uplifting to communicate with people who understand how you are feeling and some patients and family members say they gain a real sense of strength by meeting and chatting with others. Therefore we hold a local informal, friendly meeting once a month. We recommend attending face to face but the meeting can be attended via zoom also. If you are interested in joining us then please email or request to join our Facebook support group ‘West Lancs and Merseyside Myeloma Support Group’ for patients, carers, family and those affected by Myeloma.

On Wednesday, as part of the International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, we were delighted to be involved in the recording of The Myeloma Minutes, where people with lived experience of myeloma put their questions directly to the experts.

It was fantastic to have several of our supporters taking part. Ensuring that people living with myeloma remain at the heart of these conversations is so important.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us: Graham, Keith, Jim, Fiona, Bronagh, Jackie and Ann. 🧡

Keep an eye out for the podcast episode, coming very soon!
