WHITE House Cancer Support will be throwing open its doors to the public today (Thursday) to mark World Cancer Day.
The charity, based in Ednam Road in Dudley, will be welcoming visitors until 5pm and staff will be on hand to offer advice and information about the services they provide.
Manager Caroline Webb said: “We offer a wide range of activities at Ednam Road as well as providing off-site therapies and out-of-hours counselling and also give practical help, emotional support and information to patients, their families, friends and carers.
“Alongside signposting people to the World Cancer Day website we are more than happy for anyone who would like additional information to call in to discuss further.”
World Cancer Day aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year across the globe by raising awareness and education about the disease, and encouraging governments and individuals to take action.
Today also sees the launch of the three year ‘We Can. I can.’ programme, which will explore ways to reduce the global burden of cancer by using social media to share key messages.
