Cancer Support Salisbury has a successful day at The Big Help Out

VOLUNTEERS from local charity Cancer Support

Salisbury spent the day on Bank Holiday Monday (8 May) involved in the Big Help Out, which was held in the Market Square.

This initiative provided local charities and community groups a chance to promote volunteering opportunities in Salisbury, as part of the Coronation celebrations.

Cancer Support Salisbury offers practical and emotional support to all those affected by cancer, their services include a social drop-in, counselling, complementary therapies, befriending and yoga.

Mayor of Salisbury, Tim Corbin, and charismatic archaeologist and deputy lieutenant of Wiltshire, Phil

Harding visited the stand to talk to chairperson Rachel Salter and treasurer Robert Wells, to find out more about the charity and learn about the services it makes available to the local community.
