New Faces.....New Friends!

We have now had our fourth cancer support group meeting (held on the 24th June 2013) and new faces are coming along every week. People are finding it a relaxing environment where treatment, emotions and humour can be shared in a safe environment over a nice cuppa!! Michelle Merrivale kindly came along and offered hand massages, which was the ultimate stress reliever!!. Thanks Michelle. Here are the details of the meetings: The Meeting Room, Biggleswade Baptist Church, London Road, Biggleswade Date: 2nd & 4th Monday of each month (excluding Bank Holidays) Time: 1pm until 3pm No Entrance Fee but donations welcome.

A Very Good Meeting

The group had a very good meeting last week and we had 3 new attendees. All said they were very pleased with finding us and so it look like we are on the right track. Very soon we have slot on "Biggles FM" our local radio station, where Gina and Karen will be promoting the group. More about that soon. Meanwhile our name is getting around and we have a very kind invitation from Macmillan Cancer Support as follows:- Macmillan Cancer Support has big plans to change cancer care for people in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. You may already be aware of the new Macmillan Cancer Centre that is being built at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage. We would like to invite you to an event to tell you more about the new centre, the support that Macmillan need with the build and development of the centre and how you can help to support people living with cancer in your community. We are holding an event on Thursday 13th June at 7pm at The Weatherley Centre, Eagle Farm Road, Biggleswade. As a valued supporter of Macmillan and a member of the local community we would be delighted if you could join us at this event. It is the ideal opportunity to find out what improvements Macmillan are making to cancer patients in your community and find out how you can get involved. I have attached a letter and a poster about the event that will give you more information. If you would like to attend please do RSVP to me by Friday 7th June. Please also do extend my invite to your family, friends, colleagues and networks. With kind regards and I hope to see you on 13th June. So there you go ! looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting. See the calendar for dates or email us at the group address shown below.
