The George Walker North East Last Night of the Proms benefits many charities which help people with cancer:

 

Northumberland Cancer Support Group was formed in 1986, and is a completely voluntary self-help organisation and registered charity. Affiliated to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, it offers a gentle holistic approach to cancer that does not conflict with conventional medical treatment.

 

The group aims to offer a safe and friendly environment in which people with cancer, their families and friends can meet others facing a similar challenge. Open to people from anywhere in the North-East, the group meets regularly.

 

Call (01434) 684337 for more details.
