It's Testimonial Tuesday again! Today we're hearing from Elizabeth, a carer who recently stayed at The Queens Hotel (Part of Axiom Hospitality)

"I have received 3 breaks in total from Carefree, including this one. The first carefree break was my first ever holiday on my own. Each break has increased my confidence. The first Carefree break, I ate pot noodles in the room. The 2nd break, my confidence increased to eating on my own in Kirkgate Market, this last break, I ate by myself in a restaurant. I can't thank you enough for these breaks and how much they mean to me."

If you provide 30+ hours of unpaid care a week, you can sign up with us and book two hotel breaks per year! Register here: https://carefreespace.org/register

The Macmillan Cancer Support My records booklet and Cancer Research UK records booklets are for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer. It is a place to write down information about your diagnosis, care, treatment and appointments. There is also a space in this booklet to write about your feelings, key contacts, track symptoms/fatigue and write down support information.

Please ask your Cancer Navigator for one of these when you meet them, we also keep a stock in the Information Pod on level 2 near Oncology & Haematology Radiotherapy.

After a bereavement, grief doesn’t just impact us emotionally.

It can affect everyday life, including energy bills and the cost of keeping a home warm and safe. But you don't have to face that alone.

If you’re grieving and worried about your energy costs, support is available. Find out more about available support on our website ⬇️

Many patients can feel overwhelmed with their diagnosis and experience a range of emotions, having someone to talk to can help.

The Cancer Pastoral Care service offered by CUH Chaplaincy is available for patients and family members. They give time and space to express worries and concerns. They are available to listen and support with treatment and planning for end of life.

To receive this service you do not have to be a person of faith, although many faith denominations are covered by the service.

To access information about the team speak to your Cancer Navigator or a Cancer Support Advisor at the Information Pod on level 2 near Oncology & Haematology Radiotherapy
