Meet Together FAQs

Can I bring someone to support me?

Yes, you’re very welcome to bring someone with you. Our Meet Together events are for everyone affected by bowel cancer and open to patients, family and friends. Please ask anyone attending with you to register for the event too.

I don’t know anyone at the event, will there be others to talk to?

This is a welcoming environment and there’ll be plenty of other people to chat with about your experiences, many people attend our support events not knowing anyone else before the day. Our friendly trained staff and team of volunteers will be on hand to make you feel welcome and help connect you with others.

Do I have to pay anything?

No, our Meet Together events are free for people affected by bowel cancer. However please keep in touch about whether you will be attending nearer the time, so we can offer your place to someone else if you’re not able to come.

Is there an agenda?

Meet Together is very informal and the chance to chat with others so there isn’t an agenda, just tea, coffee and chat. Our staff and volunteers will also be there to provide a listening ear and let you know about our information and support.
