Above & Beyond Cancer Foundation (A&BCF) is a charity that has been operating in the Bedfordshire and surrounding areas since October 2013. It was established by two local women, who were strangers, until a cancer diagnosis in May 2009, brought them together. Through their treatment they found that there were many gaps in support, especially for those that could not attend support groups. Some people found it difficult to find time to travel to support groups and others feel uncomfortable in group settings. Above & Beyond Cancer Foundation’s mantra is Personal Support, through Personal Experience. A&BCF is committed to providing a safe and confidential space where patients can talk to someone, who has experienced the cancer journey, on a 1:1 basis. The hope is to offer a comforting and listening ear to help people through difficult times. For cancer patients, the pandemic has left many without support and A&BCF are committed to providing as much support as possible. Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer during these challenging times? Do you or do they feel helpless or isolated? Please do not hesitate to get in touch on 07812008103. Should you wish to fundraise or donate to a local charity helping local people please visit their Virgin Money Giving Page or should you know a local business that would like to support a local charity, please get in touch on the above number.
A&BCF is a registered charity in England & Wales (1173983)
