Karen Bonell, Lymphoma Action’s regional development manager in the North, said “I’m so pleased that to have this support group in Colne. Many people say to us they felt isolated by their blood cancer diagnosis and that their support group is a lifeline.

"As well as meeting others with similar experiences, it’s a chance to hear from informative speakers and join interesting discussions – all in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.”

Anyone interested in attending on January 29th and beyond can contact Karen on 07710 393 891 for an informal chat or email her at [email protected]
