Is anyone here based in or around Lancaster?
I’ve set up a support group for any woman who has, or has had, breast cancer. We meet at The Borough on the first Tuesday of every month, at any time between 18:00 and 22:00.
All the breast cancer support groups near here take place during the day, so if you work full time or have kids they were hard to get to. As a result of this, it’s typically older women that attend them. After my own diagnosis in July I found that lack of peer support for young women with breast cancer really hard, which is why I’ve set up Sanctuary 
its intention is to fill that gap for 20 - 55 year old breast cancer patients.
Women can come along and not breathe a word about cancer if they don’t want to. Or, they can come and have a big shouty cry. They can sit quietly in the corner with the book or Nintendo Switch they’ve brought from home, or they can treat themselves to a slap up three course meal and have a natter with a few others. In other words, my hope is that any woman who comes along to Sanctuary can feel comfortable in her freedom to prioritise whatever it is she’d like to have time for right now.
I’ve attached the flyer and a few photos from one of our meet ups here.
