Drop-In Groups
Our drop-in groups offer a warm, welcoming space for adults affected by cancer to come together, share stories, and find gentle support. Whether you stay for a chat or join in with a group activity, you’ll always be met with kindness and understanding.
Friday Drop-In
The Friday Drop-In has been at the heart of HCCN for many years, bringing people together through friendship, wellbeing activities and community support.
What began as an opportunity for people affected by cancer to connect has grown into one of HCCN’s most established services, helping adults across Huntingdonshire find support, build confidence and spend time with others who understand. You can read more about our four years at Bradbury House and the role it played in shaping HCCN here.
Now based at the Lady Olivia Centre in Brampton, the Friday Drop-In continues to offer the same warm welcome, whether you’d like to join an activity, enjoy a cuppa or simply connect with others.

Why Join a Support Group?
Support groups offer more than just companionship, they provide the tools, understanding, and encouragement to navigate your journey with confidence and hope.
By joining a support group, you’ll gain emotional support in a safe, understanding space where you can share your experiences openly. You’ll also receive practical advice from others who’ve been through similar experiences, along with a strong sense of community built on genuine connection and shared understanding. Studies show that support groups can significantly improve quality of life, helping you feel more supported, less isolated, and more empowered in your day-to-day life.
