CLAN Cancer Support has introduced new monthly drop-in service providing information and support in Stonehaven.
The charity will run the sessions on the last Thursday of each month in the town’s Invercarron Resource Centre, offering free support, information and services for anyone affected by cancer.
Introduced following the closure of CLAN’s Stonehaven base on Robert Street, the next drop-in session will take place on Thursday, May 25 from 3pm to 4.30pm. No appointment is required and those who are interested are invited to ‘drop-in’ to the centre. The next monthly session will also run at the Invercarron Resource Centre on Thursday, June 29 at the same times.
There will also be a guided class of relaxation and visualisation on Thursday, May 25 from 2pm to 3pm in the Dunnottar Lounge which provides techniques and support to help reduce stress and anxiety. Booking for this free class is available by contacting CLAN House in Aberdeen.
Iona Mitchell, head of cancer support services at CLAN Cancer Support, said: “We are pleased to be able to maintain our presence in Stonehaven with our new drop-in support and relaxation sessions at the Invercarron Resource Centre.
“They have proved very popular in the North-east and I’d like to encourage anyone who feels they may benefit to come along and find out more. The sessions are open to anyone affected by cancer and are relaxed and informal.
“We are committed to providing cancer support services, free of charge, in the Kincardine and Mearns area and are currently pursuing other opportunities for a new base that meets the needs of our clients and will allow us to enhance and expand our service offering within this area.”
