What we do
At Ray of Light Cancer Support, we understand that a cancer diagnosis affects the whole family. That’s why our Family Support Project is designed to offer gentle, meaningful support to families navigating life alongside cancer — with a focus on connection, creativity, and time in nature.

Tailored emotional and practical support for you and your loved ones.

🌳 Family & Group Sessions
A relaxed, fun and creative space for families to come together, with crafts, games, and time to chat and connect. Runs monthly on Tuesday afternoons at Velindre Cancer Centre. Contact us for dates.
👪 Parent & Carer Support Group
