Reaching all Plymouth Communities

We want our project to reach everyone in the Age UK Plymouth area, no matter where they live. We will be working with community groups all around Plymouth to explore how cancer support could be included in their current safe space. We want to ensure support is made available where people already feel comfortable and it is made accessible in a way that fits their needs. If you would like our team to visit your community group, residential or assisted living home then please contact olive.dillon@ageukplymouth.org.uk or call 01752 256020.

Partners across the community

This project is made possible through collaborative working with MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT, THE WOLSELEY TRUST and ZEBRA COLLECTIVE
