What We Do

Established in 2002, we provide therapeutic ‘Time to Retune’ breaks for those diagnosed with cancer and their carers or family to provide support to those at the end of cancer treatment.

Our Services

A cancer diagnosis can have a far-reaching effect on people and their families. Post treatment is a time when people are expected to ‘get back to normal’, but for many ‘normal’ has changed.

The shock of the diagnosis and treatment wears off and the reality sets in. It can be a time when people feel isolated and alone. We offer 3 day residential breaks for cancer patients – on their own or with a relative or friend.

In Appreciation

Our ‘Thank You’s to those who have helped

We are always amazed and deeply moved by the number of people who give their time, money and support to help further our work and we send out heartfelt thanks to ALL of you!.   This month, we would especially like to thank
