The charity provides free counselling and therapies, including massage, hypnotherapy, and group support, to help manage the physical and emotional impacts of cancer and medical treatment. CancerCare also supports carers, families, and those with life-shortening illnesses, offering specialist bereavement services for people of all ages, including young people aged 3 to 18. It is the only service of its kind in the area. Each month, over 400 people visit CancerCare's Slynedales centre to access one-on-one therapies, group support, the Hug in a Mug peer support café, or to accompany family members receiving support. Visitors are welcomed with a hot drink, often prepared by one of the volunteer receptionists, in a relaxed and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. So the centre’s dishwasher was in constant use up until it failed and needed replacing.
