Tribe

THRIVE AFTER CANCER

We’re a new, supportive, community gathering for women aged 18-50 impacted by cancer. You might be the patient or caring for someone with cancer, either way you’ll be most welcome.

Our aim is to be more than your average support group. Rather than sitting quietly discussing our diagnoses there’ll be fun stuff such as ‘Cassidy’s quizzes’, craft workshops, mocktail tastings, wellness events and more. There’ll also be the opportunity to chat, get support and be around others going through similar experiences to you.

We totally understand that attending a meet up can be daunting at first, so we’re happy to meet you beforehand to give you someone to walk in with.

Find your tribe of people who ‘get it’ and let’s thrive together.

Please get in touch with any questions or to find out more.

We look forward to welcoming you!

FAQs

Why was The Thrive Tribe created?

From my own cancer experience I realised how lonely it can be as a cancer patient. There wasn’t any way of connecting locally with other people of a similar age going through cancer, so I setup The Thrive Tribe. No-one should face cancer alone.

Is The Thrive Tribe a charity?

No, we’re not a charity. I’ve setup the group and volunteer my time, and experience, to support others impacted by cancer.

Is there a cost to attend?

No, it’s free to attend you just need to signup online so that we have an idea of numbers. Cassidy’s are kindly giving us their space, free of charge, to support us. All they ask is that you buy a drink (it doesn’t need to be an alcoholic drink!).

How often do I need to attend?

You can come to one meeting or every meeting, it’s up to you. You’ll be welcomed whenever you choose to join us.

Do I need to talk in front of the whole group?

No, absolutely not! No-one is going to be put on the spot or asked to do anything they don’t feel comfortable doing.

What are we going to talk about?

We’re not going to have a fixed agenda as such. I’ll introduce some topics that might be helpful to start the conversation but we’re going to be very relaxed.

What sort of activities will there be?

There’s going to be some crafting workshops; a quiz night; there’ll be some wellness events and Cassidy’s are going to run a mocktail tasting session for us. These are just some ideas as a starting point – we’d love to hear your suggestions. Some of these activities will be at a cost but there’s no obligation to attend.

Is this group only for women?

Yes, this group is for women only. Cassidy’s will also ensure that there are only women working that evening.

Can I bring a friend?

The group is specifically for women impacted by cancer. For the comfort of those attending we ask you to respect that.
