SOPHIE'S STARS
Sophies Stars is dedicated to supporting family and loved ones of people diagnosed with cancer. We have lived through a cancer diagnosis and treatment of someone else, and felt a gap in the support available to us as supporters. Our mission is to bridge this gap by providing support via peer forums, regular walks and coffee mornings and exercise classes.
Objects
TO RELIEVE THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH THE PROVISION, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY OF ADVICE, SUPPORT, GUIDANCE AND A PEER-TO-PEER FORUM.
