Please download the following medical approval form and get your doctor or oncologist to fill it out before your session.
Our CanSupport community volunteers provide support for home-based clients living with cancer. They can offer a helping hand for those living alone, or provide time out for caregivers.
They can:
- Provide companionship
- Go for a drive or walk with you
- Undertake occasional shopping
- Help with a variety of practical tasks, such as returning library books, posting mail and more...
“As someone who lives with cancer, these visits are the highlight of my week. Talking with someone who is different and not part of my normal circle of friends and family has been great.” - Client
“To those of you reading this I say, if you have a spare hour or two a week or fortnight, there are a lot of people out there who would welcome a visit from you. Not only would it add a bright spot to their day but also if you are like me, will give you a great feeling of wellbeing and gratitude that you are able to help someone else.” - CanSupport Volunteer
