THE CHESTNUT APPEAL
Support groups, Survivorship Guide, and respite available for men and their families.
Thanks to our donors, we fund lifesaving equipment and medical staff – but also provide support for men dealing with cancer. Scroll to find out more about our support groups, download a FREE PDF of our Survivorship Guide, or find out more about the Holiday Home.
Our support groups are totally free of charge. The aim of the meetings is to support each other. It’s a patient-led support group, so you tell us what you need and we’ll be there to help you for as long as you need.
It’s also a great opportunity to meet other people from across the region who are going through, or have gone through the same procedures as you.
Our support is open to patients, family and friends. Anyone who wants to gain knowledge and access our support is very welcome.
All are welcome – view upcoming meetings below.

We’ve launched a brand new support group in Cornwall to help even more people affected by cancer. As always, the group is open to everyone – patients, family, friends.
The support groups are patient-led, and a fantastic chance to meet other local people who’ve walked a similar path.
2pm-4pm, first Monday of each month
The Halfway House, Polbathic PL11 3EY
We’ll be meeting in the restaurant side of the pub – just go right as you come into the front door. Free roadside parking can be found alongside the pub.
A big thank you to pub landlord Lloyd Halliday, who’s kindly offered us free use of this warm, welcoming space.
