We hosted our October Sarcoma Support group this week and did some Halloween crafting 🎃🦇🧙

Sarcoma UK hosted the annual Support Group Leaders Network Day last week in Birmingham. We were delighted to be joined by 12 Support Group Leaders and Founders of Sarcoma UK, Roger and Sheelagh Wilson. For more information on sarcoma support groups visit sarcoma.org.uk/support-groups.

For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the symptoms of primary bone cancer. If you notice any of these symptoms in a child, always seek medical advice from a doctor or GP 🧡 For more information, please visit: ow.ly/XYy850T9u2z #CCAM #CCAM24

We held our monthly East Midlands Sarcoma support group in June and we were joined by a local singing therapies group called ‘Suhaani Yaadein’ meaning ‘Sweet Memories’. The evening was uplifting and was lovely to connect through music! 🎶🎤 @anita_pabla @Sarcoma_UK
