Hope House
Our charity offers help and support to individuals and families when a cancer diagnosis has been given, this can be in a variety of ways and we support people both during and after their treatment.
Based at our Community Hub, Hope House, we provide the following services:
- Support Groups
- Counselling
- Holistic Therapies
- Meal Delivery Service
We also run many Community Activity Groups to promote well-being and to reach out into the community beyond those affected by cancer.
We have developed strong links with cancer departments at the North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, Community Nurses, local Hospices, Schools and the Local Authority. This enables us to support as many families as possible within our area.
