The modules are short, relevant and flexible. You can choose the modules that suit the needs of your learners, and adjust them easily based on your time limitations, and the degree of support your learners require.

We have heard that going through cancer and treatment can make you rethink your career and there can also be a huge financial burden if you have to stop working.

Topics include budgeting, debt management, CV and interview skills, work networks and dealing with setbacks.

The group supports the mental well-being and overall health of people affected by cancer. It provides support, health benefits, new friendships, new skills and community to those navigating the challenges of cancer.
