Our Services
Helping people with cancer is not only about the times they visit hospital - it is about quality of life.
At Cherry Lodge, we work in partnership with hospital and community healthcare services that provide orthodox treatments. We offer additional support and help which people living with cancer so badly need.
All our services are available free of charge to people living with cancer, their carers and family members. Our role is truly complementary.
