“Due to the efforts of this loyal group and the generosity of local bowling clubs, supermarkets, collectors, sponsored walkers, shops and restaurants, Cancer Focus NI is able to provide a number of free support services for cancer patients and their families in the Ballymena area.

“These include bereavement and family support, a free helpline and support groups. We also carry out cancer prevention programmes in many local schools, workplaces and community venues to improve the health of the community and lower their risk of cancer. Without your generous support we would not be able to continue this valuable work.

“Thanks also go to everyone who follows us on Facebook or Twitter which helps spread the word about our many excellent services.”

Anyone who has concerns about cancer can speak to a specialist nurse on the Cancer Focus NI free helpline on 0800 783 3339. For more information visit www.cancerfocusni.org or call 028 9066 3281.
