Supporting Families and Carers
The Fountain Centre in Guildford understands that cancer doesn't just affect the individual; it is also essential that friends and family also receive support.
Therefore, we offer counselling and our complementary therapies are available to loved ones. We simply ask for a financial donation at a level you can comfortably afford to help us continue to provide these services to others.
