Hope Course

We can help you take back control HOPE is a course developed by Macmillan Cancer Support and Hope For The Community CIC to support you after cancer treatment.

Each course is run by a health and social care professional and a trained volunteer who has a personal experience of cancer.

You can share your experiences and get support from other people going through the same thing. It helps strengthen your coping skills in dealing with different problems like anxiety, fatigue and concerns for the future. So, you can feel more like yourself again.

HOPE is a free six-week course, and each session runs for two and a half hours (usually on the same day and time each week).
