What happens in an online support group?

Our online support groups are very similar to our groups that meet in person. They provide you with the opportunity to meet other people who are going through similar experiences, to share stories and support one another.

Abigail

I am a Support and Information officer so I am here to listen to and support those affected by cancer and the people around them, and to help find the information they need during their treatment journey and beyond.

Having had family members who have experienced cancer and previously worked in the third sector helping people, I felt that the Big C was an invaluable service where I could make a positive difference to people’s lives.

I support individuals affected by cancer and facilitate the men’s support group in Great Yarmouth.

My interest in humanism and desire to better understand cancer from an individualistic point of view is what attracted me to Big C. Had I known about the free support that Big C offers, when my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, I like to think I would have dared to walk through that door—because what awaits behind it is not to be feared, but to be delighted in.

I offer emotional wellbeing support to anyone affected by cancer, face to face, online and over the phone. I can register service users and book them in for complementary therapy and Jennifer Young treatments or welfare appointments.

I have a real passion to help people during times when they are particularly vulnerable. I also lost my mum to cancer when I was 16.

I have a varied role, which includes providing emotional support to service users and carers face to face, by telephone and online. I also assist in facilitating Big C’s invaluable support groups.

I initially saw the amazing work that Big C does first hand as a Meet and Greet volunteer for the charity and it is a cause very close to my heart. Big C provides much needed services for anyone affected by cancer and I am proud to be a small part of providing that support.

We’ve helped people like Janice

Cancer affects us all in many different ways; we know it can be a difficult time. Whether you’d like to talk in confidence, get practical support or have a calm space away, we can help.
