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
What People Have To Say To Us
Stand out
Get noticed and recognised as a local highly active charity. We know our current logo lacks standout and we need something bolder
Audiences
Who are we trying to reach? We have a several different audiences for whom the website, our leaflets and our publicity need to work:
Potential Donors
as a minimum, we want to generate sufficient funding to offer 3 breaks a year. More would enable us to offer 4 breaks and possibly other formats – small breaks, online therapy sessions etc.
Supporters and Volunteers
we currently have a good network in and around Chudleigh but need to expand across the South West, with groups of supporters running fundraising events in their areas
d. Potential Break Participants
those living with the consequences of a cancer diagnosis
e. Devon GPs Network
a network of Devon GPs who meet regularly and might be willing to recommend our breaks.
