Supporting you

FORCE is here to help you and your loved ones through every step of a cancer diagnosis, treatment and aftercare.

Check out what’s available below or read our latest support and advice leaflet.

All our services are free and available at our relaxed and comfortable Support and Information Centre in Exeter, weekdays except Bank Holidays from 9:30am until 4:30pm.

You can drop in whenever we’re open – no appointment needed. You can get information and advice and discuss the help and support you need with our professional staff. When possible, we also take our services into community hospitals across Devon and have exercise programmes around the county.

We work closely with hospital staff involved in the treatment of cancer patients and also have links with other cancer charities, which means that if we cannot help immediately, we can usually put you in touch with someone who can.

Contact us for support on 01392 406151 or support@forcecancercharity.co.uk.

Supporting you

We’re here to help

Cancer brings about change in people’s lives and hearing that you or someone close to you has cancer can be a distressing experience. A diagnosis is often accompanied by a range of different emotions which can prove challenging to face alone. FORCE offers a range of free support for you at any stage of your cancer journey.
