Welcome

Hive Cancer Support started in Derry’s Bogside & Brandywell and now extends beyond the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.

Our community-based approach to helping those living with, and after Cancer, remains the same.

We offer a diverse range of welcoming support groups, fostering a safe and inclusive space for all.

We believe in embracing everyone with open arms, ensuring a sense of belonging and understanding, creating spaces where individuals can find comfort and connection. 

If group settings are not your preference, we also provide alternative support options to ensure everyone can access the help they need.

You are not alone on your journey, and we are here for you every step of the way.
