Cancer Connections has made amazing progress in ways that I never imagined when we started – over 300 people have sought our help since we opened in May 2007. The local press has decided to support the last phase of our fundraising to buy a nearby bungalow that will be a permanent ‘home from home’ for people and families affected by cancer in South Tyneside. Have a look at the article below to see what we are up to. Retirement hasn’t been quite what we had anticipated ….!
” CANCER is one of those words that fills you with dread, and most of us have, at some time in our lives, seen a friend or relative affected by it.
However, there is a beacon of hope in South Tyneside for sufferers and their families and friends – the charity Cancer Connections, based at West Harton Churches’ Action Station in Boldon Lane, South Shields.
We went to meet the group as it embarked upon the final fundraising push to buy a new ‘home from home’.
The Gazette has run many campaigns over the years, but the response to the Cancer Connections – Quids In project has been unprecedented.”
