New digital support group for bowel cancer patients
Chat Together is a free online support group for people living with and beyond bowel cancer. It’s a welcoming place to talk to other with bowel cancer and to meet new people. It’s a chance to share experiences in a safe, supportive and informal environment.
Chat Together is a chance for you to virtually get together and support each other from the comfort of your own homes at this time of isolation. You just need a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and somewhere quiet to sit.

BUDDIES & FACE TO FACE MEET-UPS
The trustees would like to extend the Telephone Support Service to include one to one, face to face contacts for anyone who feels they would like some company occasionally, especially those who may just be coming out of isolation/quarantine or who may be new to LT. These ‘meet ups’ would be socially distanced and outside for now to make them as safe as possible. If you would like to volunteer to be such a contact or would like to meet up with somebody from Living Tree, please email Rosemary with your phone number at thelivingtreedorset@gmail.com or phone and leave a message on 07341 916976 with your name and phone number and we will get back to you.
