BLACKBURN & EAST LANCASHIRE
BREAST CARE SUPPORT GROUP

Our meetings are held on the FIRST TUESDAY of every month at:

THE BEARDWOOD HOSPITAL
Preston New Road
Blackburn BB2 7AE

from 7pm to 9pm

A WARM WELCOME TO EVERYONE COMING TO THE GROUP

We meet on the first Tuesday of the month in the dining room at The Beardwood Hospital. It’s a friendly atmosphere and there is coffee/tea available.

Most of us need a bit of support, whether it’s from family members, friends, or a specialist group. Just knowing there are others in the same situation really can help.

It’s always hard going along to a group for the first time, especially if you’re on your own, but don’t worry, you will be among friends who have been through similar experiences and, therefore, will understand.

Please contact any of us for a chat, or come along and see us at a meeting:

WE ARE AN AWARD WINNING GROUP

Our Support Group was one of the first voluntary groups to receive The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award for Voluntary Service by Groups in the Community and we hold a trophy and a certificate signed by Her Majesty. The Mayor of Blackburn with Darwen presented us with an award as part of Volunteers Week celebrations. A further award was from the House of Commons, All Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer.

MONDAY MOVERS

We have a friendly exercise group – the Monday Movers.

We meet at East Lancashire Hospice on Monday evenings, 7pm - approx 8.30pm (£1.50) except for when we meet at Beardwood on the following Tuesday.

We start with some dancercize, followed by circuits and finish with tai chi. You can be as active as you want. Afterwards, we go to the cafe for a brew and a chat. Have a look at some of our ladies in action.
