Guernsey Cancer Support | We are here to help you.

Being told you have cancer, or that your cancer has returned, can leave you feeling shocked, upset and very isolated. There are so many questions to be answered and so many feelings to deal with. We are here to help.

Who we are

Guernsey Cancer Support provides an opportunity to spend time with people who share or understand your experience. It’s an opportunity for you to talk about your deepest concerns, and know they will be met with acceptance and understanding.

About us

Support group

The group offers support to people from any of the Islands in the Bailiwick and to anyone affected by cancer whether as a patient, carer or family member. The members of the group have all experienced having cancer themselves or are the family/friends who have cared for someone with cancer.

What people say

"Cancer can be a scary and lonely time. I wasn't given much information about Guernsey based groups following my diagnosis. However, following a recommendation from a friend, I decided to go along to a GCS meeting. I haven't looked back since. Everyone at GCS is so friendly and patient. I'm so glad I found this support group."

"Finding others going through what you are also experiencing is such a relief. GCS members are so friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to answer questions that I had about cancer and cancer treatment and made me feel more confident about what I could do to support my wife and her cancer journey."

"The GCS group was such a positive experience, not only for my husband who had the cancer diagnosis, but for myself too. I have made some lifelong friends and still attend the group even though my husband sadly passed away."

🚨 Meeting Reminder 🚨

Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 2nd July at 10:30am, in the reading room at Les Cotils.

To enable us to spend some one to one time with new members we would suggest that newcomers to the group or members that would appreciate some private time with one of our team please arrive at 10:00 AM.

Our meetings are relaxed, informal and an opportunity to spend time with other members to exchange experiences and support each other.

Please note: If you are suffering with a cold or cough or you are feeling unwell, we kindly request that you do not attend the meeting.

We have some very vulnerable members and it’s important that everyone is as safe as possible.

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!
