Can I attend online groups as well as 1:1 sessions?
When you speak to a member of the support team they’ll be able to suggest what might work for you in terms of support. If you’re unable to attend one of our Centres, then they’ll talk you through the options online.
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.

Who you’ll meet at our online support hub
Abigail
Support and Information Officer
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.
Corinne
Support and Information Officer
Corinne
(She/Her)
Support, information and wellbeing – whatever support looks like to you, I aim to provide.
I work at Big C to provide support to those who are in need, and to work in a fulfilling and meaningful role in my community.
Alison
Support and Information Officer
Alison
I support people affected by cancer in person and over the phone or online. I facilitate our Ladies Breast Support Group and assist with our Ladies and Carers support groups at King’s Lynn.
I work at the Bic C to help make a difference, by actively listening and empowering people affected by cancer with the information I provide.
Craig
Counselling Coordinator
Craig
I support individuals affected by cancer.
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.
Ian
Support and Information Officer
Ian
I support people affected by cancer in person & over the phone or online. I facilitate our Men’s Support Group & assist with our Kingsmen group at King’s Lynn.
I have worked in a wide range of social care and education roles for over 25 years.
I have lost family members to cancer, so I know how important it is to have the right support.
