Chat Together
Join our online support groups for people living with and beyond cancer
Chat Together is a welcoming place to talk to others with bowel cancer and to meet new people. It's a chance to share experiences in a friendly, supportive and informal environment.
Join us for a free one-hour weekly call on Zoom, over six weeks, with a small group of other people who are affected by bowel cancer.
Chats are hosted by a member of our team and our trained volunteers who've had bowel cancer themselves. You'll need a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and somewhere quiet to sit. We'll send you the instructions on how to join us for our weekly call on Zoom.
Please note: Limited spaces are available on a first come first serve basis. For a group to take place we need a minimum of five people. More questions about how the groups work? See our detailed FAQs.
