We have partnered with 5K Your Way to encourage anyone living with, or beyond cancer, including families and friends to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at Parkrun.
You can find 5K Your Way at Lydiard and Marlborough Parkrun's every Saturday*.
*Check the Parkrun Facebook page for cancellations due to weather or other events.
We work with the Trust's voluntary services team to recruit and train Cancer Buddies.
Cancer Buddies are people that have had a cancer diagnosis and have undergone treatment, and now offer support to others on their cancer journey.
Cancer buddies can be found on the chemotherapy unit (Monday to Friday) and can also provide one to one support whilst patients are receiving treatment, or can arrange follow up phone calls.
Our Carers Café offers support, information and advice for all carers, along with a free cup of tea or coffee.
If you are an unpaid carer, please feel free to join us every Wednesday from 2pm to 3.30pm in the main hospital restaurant on the ground floor of the Great Western Hospital.
We have a number of information videos for patients to access on a variety of topics.
These can be watched at your own pace and in your own time, so if you are not feeling up to attending any of our face-to-face workshops, these might be a good option for you.
