A SUPPORT group for people affected by cancer is calling out for new members.

The group has been set up by the John Holt Cancer Support Foundation as a weekly session to help people dealing with cancer. Whether they are a patient, family or friend of someone who has cancer, the group can offer informal support.

The group also offers relaxing activities such as complimentary holistic therapies and art taster sessions or can even just offer a sympathetic ear.

The sessions are being held at Dallam Day Centre, on Dallam Lane, and take place every Thursday from 7pm until 9pm. The sessions are all free of charge.
