We are here to help you through this challenging time with support, advice and to answer your questions.
Help us build cancer support together! One in two people will get cancer in their lifetime and more people now are experiencing a longer life expectancy following diagnosis.
FORCE Cancer Charity provides free support and information to anyone affected by cancer at our Centre in Exeter and at local community hospitals.
We offer counselling, group sessions, complementary therapies, benefits advice, specialist physiotherapy and exercise guidance and other health and wellbeing support. Our services are available to cancer patients and their families.
The FORCE Cancer Support and Information Centre is on the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital’s Wonford site. It’s open Monday to Friday, except Bank Holidays, between 9:30am and 4:30pm.
We work at the Ottery St Mary Hospital cancer hub, where our volunteers support FORCE’s team of experts and the nurses delivering chemotherapy daily. We also provide support by appointment at Tiverton Hospital (Mondays) and Okehampton Hospital (Wednesdays).
We fund local research and buy equipment to improve patient care.
We are an independent charity. The majority of our work is funded by local donations, fundraising, grants, legacies and our award winning shop. We are not part of the NHS and receive no regular NHS or government funding.
When cancer turns your life upside down, our team of experts is on hand to offer support and advice.
Time on your hands? Why not join our amazing team of volunteers and make a difference in your community.
Online or in person at our amazing shop in Exeter, we have bargains galore and an exciting range of products.
