CSF NEWSLETTER: AUGUST 2025
1st August - 31st August
Event Navigation
Hallo Everyone
Here we are with the long hot days, summer visitors for many of us, and Village fêtes and events everywhere you look.
Cancer Support France will still be operating and we try to always have at least one fully trained volunteer at every drop-in.
The CSF Helpline is 0800 240 200
Drop Ins
N.B. there will be no Drop-in during August in Prades, but see ‘Looking Ahead’ for September.
Wednesday 6th August, Bar le Pablo, Céret, 10.30
Come along for a coffee and a chat. There will be some paperbacks to exchange and friendly faces on the terrace in the shade.
Monday 18th August, Café des Artistes, Laroque des Albères, 10.15
Come and browse through our large selection of paperbacks. Any books you bring along for exchange will be gratefully received. Sorry, but we cannot take hardbacks or non-fiction. Bring a friend and stay for a coffee.
Looking ahead
On Wednesday 17th September CSF PO will be holding a get-together in the Villa Lafabrègue in Prades for all members and friends in the PO.
Everyone welcome for the cake sale, coffee, chat – and a pre-loved jewellery sale.
Costume jewellery – or otherwise (diamonds are a girl’s best friend?). Maggie asks that you contact her if you have jewellery to donate (in boxes or plastic bags please) so that it reaches Maggie the week before. Or give to your local contact in time for the jewels to reach Maggie.
Also let Maggie know if you can bake a cake for this event: sud-maggie@cancersupportfrance.org
The Quiz will take place in November.
For sale
CSF have been given a nearly-new adjustable reclining chair in perfect condition. It is available for a reasonable donation to Cancer Support France Sud de France and would need to be collected from Banyuls sur Mer. (New this would cost 500€). More details and photos here.
President needed
Cancer Support France Sud needs a new President for the region, who would ideally have had Active Listener experience and have good French.
If you would like to know more then please contact Penny at sud-penny@cancersupportfrance.org
Please remember that if anyone is struggling or needing help, the CSF telephone (0800 240 200) and email helplines are always open. We are there for everyone needing assistance at this time, as well as those affected by cancer. There is also a lot of information on our website : https:// cancersupportfrance.org |
