We know that not everyone affected by cancer can access information online. That is why we are developing our community engagement activities so that we can reach you in your home town, near your treatment centre, at your community centre or during support groups. Our community team are currently working in Edinburgh, Lothians and in North and South Lanarkshire.
Our community team would be delighted to see you if you are interested in finding out more about cancer support and information.
Wednesday 20th May, 11am - 12pm
Meet our Community Engagement Officer, Heather on the 20th May at Drylaw Neighbourhood Hub. Learn about the support we can offer you, and enjoy a lovely chat, tea and toast.

- Access benefits from Social Security Scotland and finding advice on finance
- Discover suitable classes to keep active and develop fitness
- Joining a support group or finding 1-1 support services
If you are part of a community group and service and would like to arrange for us to come and share we would be delighted to hear from you.
