Paul's Cancer Support Centre

Who we are

Our purpose

We enable people affected by cancer, through community-based care and support, to find new strength, resilience and their own way of coping with the challenges cancer brings.

Our values

•  Our services are responsive to the individual.

•  We provide high quality care delivered by people with professional knowledge and expertise.

•  We provide a friendly and safe environment where our service users feel supported.

•  We are a small, independent charity and this allows us to be flexible and innovative in developing new responsive services.

•  We build partnerships that allow us to provide a seamless service to our clients.

Our guiding principles

Some of the Centre’s guiding principles are:

•  our services are tailored to suit the needs of each individual

•  time, space and choice are given

•  each person’s response to life-threatening illness is respected

•  we provide a wide range of services, which allows people to access help in many different ways

•  we help people to find a centred approach to life, rather than emphasising positive thinking, which can become a burden

•  practitioners are carefully selected to ensure that their approach is in line with our ethos

•  no-one seeking help is turned away through being unable to contribute financially

•  we provide forms of psycho-social support that complement statutory and other services.

•  we actively seek ways to make services available to all parts of our diverse local community, including men and people of different races and faiths.
