Please be assured our friendly team is still working and available via phone and email to provide support and care to you or a loved one – but that support might look a bit different for a few weeks.
Our Supportive Care team will continue to provide help and support to clients and whānau via phone and video conferencing and our shuttles and volunteer driving services to cancer treatment will continue with additional precautions in place.
Some cancer activities and support groups will continue to be held on centre premises if after hours - please check with your local centre.
But above all else, we are here for anyone with any cancer regardless of everything else, so please do connect with your local centre should you or a loved one need support.
