Volunteer advocates need to keep up to date with local services in order to be able to appropriately signpost their partners to additional sources of support.
Claire Tuckett, Volunteer Development Manager at Wessex Cancer Trust, presented to staff and volunteers of Dorset Cancer Advocacy on the range of services they provide which include cancer information, counselling and complementary therapies, patient grants and transport, as well as holiday homes in the New Forest and Weymouth for patients and their families to have a low cost break by the sea.
