Cancer Card

Our work in Fife 💛

Recently our Community Engagement Liason, Gail, was invited to the Fife Practice Managers meeting where all GP practice managers from across Fife were invited to meet and hear a range of presentations on different topics.

It was a great opportunity to speak to them about Cancer Card and our collaborative, personalised approach to cancer support. We hope now that the practice managers will know exaclty where to signpost patients to for additional cancer support.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of fizz, food and fundraising! 🥂

We have some spaces remaining at our charity ball on the 31st October at Prestonfield House Hotel. If you would like to come along, please complete our booking form here: https://www.cancercard.org.uk/events/cancer-card-ball-2026

We hope to see you there. 💛

We are currently working with Get Better Together in Shotts, North Lanarkshire providing support to people affected by cancer. We also have some comfort boxes available for people with a cancer diagnosis in this area.

If you know someone in Shotts that would benefit from one of our free Comfort Boxes, please get in touch!

This September, we’re shining a light on cancer awareness. 💛

If you’re living with cancer, or supporting someone who is, our website brings together a range of services and resources that may be able to help.
