Volunteers needed for BCC's One to One Support Service?

hello

Have you had a personal diagnosis of breast cancer or had a partner who has had a diagnosis of breast cancer? Would you like to support others by phone as a volunteer with our One to One Support Service?

Every year we put hundreds of people in touch with a trained volunteer who knows what that person is going through because they have been through it too.

We are currently looking for new volunteers in the East Midlands and North of England region to join our forthcoming training programme. Following this you would take telephone referrals from people looking for emotional support around coping with their diagnosis and/or treatment.

I applied for this and was told that you have to be 18 months post dx to be considered. I do think that this should have been put in the post as I was disappointed to be told this.
