Open Umbrella Cancer Support Group

Open Umbrella is a new group established in 2023 which aims to support cancer patients on the Isle of Wight, and also their families, as they prepare for, and go through, cancer treatment. We also offer ongoing support following treatment. We meet for informal coffee on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Riverside Centre in Newport, Isle of Wight from 10:30am -12:00pm. In addition, we also organise informal social activities regularly, usually to take place at the weekends, to enable patients and their families to connect and be mutually supportive and to encourage a return to physical fitness and to encourage positive mental health and wellbeing. Just come along to our next meeting, or get in touch with us on the details below.

The women find support talking amongst themselves to help each other through treatment as well as dealing with the personal and intimate aspects of breast cancer. This can be at any time during the cancer journey; from diagnosis through treatment and afterwards. A different topic of interest is introduced at each meeting to help patients to understand and manage their cancer. Health professionals as well as therapists and other speakers, will help patients to stay active, to have a healthier life, as well as giving them confidence in living with breast cancer.
