If you or a loved one are affected by cancer, there are several activities and groups available nearby.
The Ross Cancer Support Group meets in the John Kyrle High School conference room, every third Tuesday of the month at 17:30-19:30. After a long period where we have not been able to get together, we all agree that there is nothing like a face-to-face opportunity to meet and share our various experiences, and give mutual support.The group offers anyone who has been affected by cancer an opportunity to meet with like-minded people in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
The group is for anyone affected by cancer, for all age groups. A community support group who can signpost, support, provide information and shared experiences.
