Living
Tree cancer support group coffee morning in association with LymeForward
The Living
Tree was set up in October 2012. This friendly group offers a safe space for
those affected by cancer, their families and friends, helping people take
control of and enrich their lives. It provides information, support,
complementary therapies, exercise, weekly meetings, swimming in Eype, table
tennis and creative activities and workshops around the local area. The Living
Tree has also recently published Living Treats, a recipe book of cakes
and sweets with reduced sugar content or alternatives to sugar, widely
available in local shops. LymeForward plans to hold regular group meetings in
Lyme Regis with support from Living Tree members. Anyone who has experienced
cancer or been touched by it in any way is invited to come along on 12th
January to find out more about the group which has members in Bridport, Lyme
and the surrounding villages. Free gentle touch therapies will be available.
