CancerCare North Lancashire & South Cumbria is a local, independent charity that provides counselling and complementary therapies to adults and children affected by cancer, life-shortening illnesses and bereavement. 

For over 40 years, they have supported thousands of local people through some of the most challenging times of their lives.

At CancerCare, they understand that cancer impacts not only the person receiving the diagnosis but also those around them. 

They have four dedicated centres across the region in Lancaster, Barrow, Kendal, and Morecambe, and our therapies are delivered by qualified, experienced professionals.

While their services are free to their clients, they are not free to run and it costs approximately £2 million each year to keep the doors open.

CancerCare help people discover their capacity for life when times are tough - with the professional help, emotional support and collective strength to face whatever is next.
