Over the Christmas holidays, knowing where to turn can make all the difference. If you or someone you care about feels unwell, in crisis, or needs urgent support, these numbers are here to help — keeping you safe and supported this festive season.
We were delighted to have our patron, Fiona Wade, join us at our 40-year anniversary celebration!
Her support means so much to us, especially as she continues to advocate awareness of oesophageal and gastric cancers through her own personal connection to our cause. Thank you💜
