The Wessex Cancer Trust, a charity that provides free emotional wellbeing services to anyone affected by cancer, is coming to Dorchester to canvas residents.

Its team will host an open day at Durnovaria Band Hall on Wednesday 14 December from 10am-1pm.
Anyone who has or has had cancer, is supporting someone with cancer or is bereaved is welcome to pop along for an informal chat about the types of emotional support they might find most valuable.
Colette Cowan, the charity’s head of services, said: “Wessex Cancer Trust is here to support anyone affected by cancer. We provide a range of wellbeing services, such as counselling, therapies and befriending at our four support centres.
“We’ve identified Dorchester as an area where there’s a lack of cancer support. We’d love to meet anyone who thinks they might appreciate some support, so we can find out about their needs before introducing regular cancer wellbeing sessions in the New Year.”
The charity is also keen to hear from anyone who might be interested in volunteering. To find out more about this and the charity’s community services, go along to the open day. Alternatively, contact outreach project manager Katie Davies on 023 8067 2200 or email katie.davies@wessexcancer.org.uk.
