The FORCE Support and Information Centre is open every weekday from 9:30am to 4:30pm (except Bank Holidays), no appointment needed.

Share your story

Everyone’s cancer journey is personal and unique.

Real life stories can inspire and encourage others, offer comfort, reduce fear and foster hope.

By sharing your experience, you can bring to life all the amazing things we do.

Help us tell more people about the support FORCE offers anyone locally affected by cancer.

We’d also love to hear about the things you do to support FORCE, stories that can motivate others to fundraise or volunteer for us.

Where would my story be used?

That’s up to you.

We would like to share your story on our website and social media channels – we have followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – and our FORCE matters magazine.

We might also use extracts or quotes on our posters and leaflets.

We would use your story ONLY with your permission and you can specify where you would be happy to see it published.
