A SUPPORT group has been established in Ross on Wye for those affected by cancer, writes Shanya Jacobs.

The Ross Cancer Support Group, based in the St Mary’s Church Hall, hold regular meeting and events inviting anyone affected by cancer, including, patients, carers, family and friends alike.

Established in 2016, the support group offers a non-discriminatory environment to support those affected. Its mission is to create a sense of community for those whose life has been impacted by cancer as well as ensuring that no-one in the town or local areas faces cancer alone.

The chairman, Paul Baker, having worked for many years in the cancer field was encouraged by the Macmillan Information Centre at Hereford County Hospital to set up a cancer support group to serve the local community.
