We facilitate self-help groups to help you manage your condition and gain support from others in similar circumstances.

If you are interested in our support groups please talk with your hospice contact as they will be happy to discuss the group with you and refer as appropriate following discussion.

Lymphoedema

The lymphoedema support group is based at the hospice and run by patients attending the clinic with the support of the lymphoedema nurse practitioners. The group currently meets quarterly at the hospice for supper and an informal get together. 

Bereavement  

We run a support group for people learning to cope with bereavement.  The group is open to anyone who has had a relative or friend cared for by St Catherine’s and it meets on the second Tuesday of each month between 7.00 – 9.00 pm at the hospice.  You are welcome to attend for up to fourteen visits.
