“Hummingbird Cancer Support Group is a wonderful group supporting cancer patients both physically and mentally. The therapists and volunteers are both kind and caring and freely give their time. I find the social occasion, along with the tea and cake, one to look forward to.”

“Pam and I attended Hummingbird CSG when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The group was caring and helped us through some dark times. After Pam passed away, I continued to attend as I find it helps with my grief. I hope I can support others going through the same thing.”

“We discovered Hummingbird CSG when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. After my husband died, I continued to attend. It’s lovely to have the treatments available but mostly it’s great to share the company of others, have a chat and enjoy tea and cake. The team running the group are wonderful as are the therapists and volunteers.”
