Supporting people affected by cancer with the Tuesday Circle
Homerton Hope secured £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund to support the Tuesday Circle Cancer Support Group over two years.
The Tuesday Circle provides a friendly and supportive space where people affected by cancer can meet others who understand their experiences.
Approximately 15 to 20 people attend each week, receiving peer support and taking part in activities including yoga, mindfulness, relaxation and creative sessions.
The funding has enabled the group to continue delivering regular sessions, meet essential venue and facilitator costs, and provide a reliable source of support outside a clinical environment.
For participants, the group offers more than activities. It provides companionship, reassurance and a sense of belonging during what can be a difficult and isolating time.
Through the grant secured by Homerton Hope, local people affected by cancer can continue accessing meaningful support within their community.
Donate to our cancer services fundraiser to help us continue supporting this group and other initiatives in the cancer service.
