Support groups

Find connection and support from others who understand.

A cancer diagnosis can be life-changing — but you don’t have to face it alone. Support Groups offer a safe, welcoming space for people affected by upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers to connect, share experiences, and support one another.

Whether you're a patient, carer, or grieving the loss of a loved one, our groups provide meaningful connection, emotional support, and practical insights from others who truly understand.

Types of Support Groups Available

We offer a range of group formats to suit different needs and preferences:

• Patient Online Group – connect with others living with upper GI cancer
• Carer Online Group – share experiences and support with fellow carers
• Grief & Bereavement Online Group – for those navigating loss
• Younger Person’s Online Group – tailored for younger adults affected by cancer
• Presenter-Led Online Group – featuring guest experts such as nurses, doctors, nutritionists, and more
