A health and wellbeing hub for the local community
Here at The Place in Settle we host, support and run several different groups and sessions for the local community. Here’s a spotlight on the Settle Cancer Support Group written by the amazing volunteers who run the group.
Settle Cancer Support Group
We offer wellbeing support for local people affected by cancer, including patients, carers, families and friends. A diagnosis of cancer can touch people in many different ways. This is an informal space where you can share ideas, and take the weight off for a while, with others who have been affected by cancer. Drop in for as long or short as you feel. Refreshments will be available.
Held on the 4th Monday of the month 10.30 -11.45am at The Place in Settle. The group is run by volunteers and works in partnership with Townhead Surgeries and their Social Prescriber. It is funded by NHS Bradford Trust Well Together. Alongside the social and emotional support, we have a complementary therapist available.
Research has shown that complementary therapies can offer relief from the emotional and physical symptoms which long term stress can have on the body. Therapies may help reduce tension, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression, and promote relaxation. They may also give a greater sense of control over what is happening. They work with the person as a whole; this is called a holistic approach, treating the whole person on a physical and emotional level.
Therapies may include: aromatherapy and massage, reflexology, Reiki, stress reduction and relaxation.
We would love to welcome you. For more information, please contact The Place in Settle. 01729 824868.
