About CancerChitChat

Founded in York and shaped by personal experience, we offer a warm, welcoming space for anyone navigating a cancer diagnosis or supporting someone who is. You never have to face this journey alone.

Our support is centred on connection, understanding and practical care. Whether you need a listening ear, reliable information, help finding local services or the chance to meet others who truly understand, we are here to support you at every stage, in a way that feels right for you.

Born from real experience

Experiencing cancer firsthand made the need for honest, compassionate, and empathetic conversation undeniably clear. CancerChitChat grew from that personal journey, creating a place where those facing similar challenges can find understanding, companionship, and genuine comfort from day one.

Always here to listen

Above all, we want you to know that we are here to help people at every stage of their cancer journey. Whether you need practical advice or simply someone to hear you when things feel overwhelming, you do not have to carry it alone. Our door is always open, even if it is just for a friendly chat and a listening ear.

"Finding CancerChitChat gave me the reassurance and warmth I needed most. Being able to talk freely with people who truly understand made all the difference."
