The Cancer support groups offered by Wairarapa Cancer Society are a great place for people navigating cancer to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences. We place a strong emphasis on maintaining the confidentiality of attendees.

Our Support and Information coordinator is available once a month in the South Wairarapa for in-person meetings at these locations or for community visits. 
Please call 0272118969 for more information.
