Delivering sand play therapy virtually!
In the light of the coronavirus pandemic we will be making a number of changes to how CancerCare will operate in the coming weeks.
Myself and the Executive Leadership Team have been consulting extensively with health professionals and discussing current Government guidelines which are to stop non-essential contact with vulnerable people (and those over 70) and for people with serious underlying health conditions to self-isolate for up to 12 weeks.
We have decided the most sensible course of action to take is to reduce footfall to the bare minimum in all of our centre to ensure we protecting our, staff, clients, therapists and volunteers.

We will be working out the logistics of delivering these over the next couple of days.
I have been delighted with the positive ‘can-do’ attitude and commitment to the people we support that everyone at CancerCare has shown in these unprecedented, and often unnerving times.
However, while we will all need to demonstrate a degree of flexibility to our work in the coming months, we will continue to do our work with the compassion and professionalism that has become the cornerstones of our charity.
Thank you everyone.
