Hello Movember 💙

This month we focus on men’s health and well-being, and on making space for men to talk about it.

More men are starting to open up when they feel safe and heard. Swipe to read a message from Richard, who facilitates our Prostate Cancer Support Group. ➡️

This Movember, let’s keep the conversation going.

Our support is open to everyone affected by cancer, in English and free of charge.

After losing someone to cancer, grief can affect how you feel, think and experience everyday life, as well as your physical wellbeing. Everyone’s experience is different, and what you notice may change from day to day.

Grief doesn’t move in a straight line, and there is no right way to grieve. Understanding grief and exploring practical ways to cope can help make life after loss feel a little more manageable.

Our online Grief Workshop is a two-hour session led by trained counsellor Smita Singh. You’ll learn about the emotional, psychological and physical sides of grief, and leave with practical tools to help you cope as you adjust to life after your loss. It’s also a chance to connect with others who have lost a loved one to cancer.

Out workshop is in English and free of charge.

Tuesday, 10 November, 11:30-13:30 via Zoom
Email [email protected] to join.

If you know someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one to cancer, please share this post with them. To learn more, link in the first comment.

Racing to give back 🧡

A huge shout-out to Erin, Nuria, Laura, Stella, Ambra, Marie, Layla, Carlos, Argy, Adriano and Vasillis for their great fundraising project!

This coming Sunday 25 October, they'll run the Lausanne Half Marathon as a team for Cancer Support Switzerland. They're running to say thank you for the support a close friend of theirs received during her treatment, and to help make sure no one has to face cancer alone.

Every donation helps us keep our English-language counselling, support groups and wellbeing activities free of charge for anyone affected by cancer.

Thank you, team, we'll be cheering for you!
