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 cake, coffee, chat – and a pre-loved jewellery sale. Costume jewellery – or otherwise. (diamonds are a girls best friend?) For more info contact: Jill Merriam : sud-po@cancersupportfrance.org
The Quiz will now take place in November.
AND – 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.
AL Supporters needed
All our Active Listeners have a supporter who provides a balance of encouragement and challenge. Meeting every six weeks or so, usually by telephone, they allow the AL to share any concerns about their client work and to practise their listening skills. Supporters are either experienced ALs or others from a relevant professional background with a good grounding in what CSF is about. They support their colleagues, helping them to achieve they best they can for CSF clients.
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 |
