A welcoming space for everyone affected by cancer
CancerChitChat brings people together in York for relaxed, friendly peer support. Whether you are living with a diagnosis, caring for someone, or supporting a loved one, you never have to walk this path on your own.
What you will find at our meet-ups
Our sessions are completely free and informal. We gather regularly at Acomb Explore Library to share warmth, company, and understanding over a cuppa.
Tea and conversation
Enjoy a relaxed chat over tea, coffee, and biscuits in a calm, judgment-free space where everyone understands what you are going through.
Understanding friends
Meet local York neighbours who share real experiences. Talk about your week, share practical coping ideas, or simply sit back and listen.
No pressure, no referral needed
Walking into an unfamiliar room can feel daunting. We keep things open and easy: you can just turn up whenever you feel up to it, or send a quick message beforehand if you feel nervous.
Meeting at Acomb Library
We gather right in the heart of the community at Acomb Explore Library in York. The venue is fully accessible, quiet, and easy to reach. Whether you stay for half an hour or the full session, you will find friendly faces ready to put the kettle on and make you feel immediately at home.
How to take your first step
There is no paperwork to complete and no formal sign-up required. If you would like to know when our next gathering is happening, or simply want some reassurance before walking through the door, visit our social media pages to learn more about who we are and how we support one another.
