💛 Who are the faces behind Cancer CONNECT? 💛
For those who may be new to our page, we thought it was time to re-introduce ourselves...
Cancer CONNECT was founded by Sarah, Katy and Carolyn – three local women brought together by a shared passion to ensure that nobody affected by cancer has to face it feeling alone.
💛 Sarah has spent many years working in cancer research and supporting cancer charities, seeing first-hand the importance of emotional support alongside medical care.
💛 Katy has a background in clinical research and now works as an acupuncturist, supporting people living with and beyond cancer every day.
💛 Carolyn brings the invaluable perspective of lived experience following her own cancer diagnosis, along with her passion for helping others through her volunteering and community work.
Together, we wanted to create a warm, welcoming space where anyone affected by cancer – whether you have a diagnosis yourself, are supporting a loved one, are bereaved, or are living beyond cancer – can come for a coffee, a chat, a listening ear, and gentle signposting to local support.
There is no pressure to talk, no expectations, and no judgement. Just kindness, understanding and community.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. We can't wait to welcome familiar faces and new ones when we're back after our August break. 💛🧡
