CALL provides a number of ‘get togethers’ for people with cancer,
carers and family members living in Greater Manchester. These are informal
group sessions where people can mix and have a chat. The atmosphere is supportive
and relaxed. Sometimes the groups have talks from external speakers as well
as relaxation or arts sessions. Transport and refreshments are provided free
of charge. At various times of year the groups also go out on accompanied
day trips to places of interest in the North West.
CALL’s Group Sessions are supported by MacMillan
