Workshops and talks
Sugar is everywhere, but how much do we really know about its impact on our health? Join Meg the Nutritionist for an engaging nutrition workshop that separates fact from fiction. Discover the different types of sugar, how they affect the body, where hidden sugars are found, and practical ways to make informed food choices without giving up the foods you enjoy.
Meg is our Registered Associate Nutritionist. She helps and supports people to improve their nutrition and overall diet through education, coaching, and behaviour change.

This really helpful session was recorded ! it was designed to provide insight into medical law in the context of cancer care and treatment.
Jenna says
“We hope this will be a useful resource for everyone at the Cancer Support Centre.
During the session, we discuss what medical negligence is and the types of cases that may give rise to a claim, the complaints processes available, the legal test, stages of an investigation, how compensation is quantified, funding options available, limitation periods and the importance of statutory time limits for bringing a claim.
The session also includes a number of real-life case studies, demonstrating how we’ve supported clients and their families through the claims process.
We hope you and your service users find the session informative and valuable. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss anything further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us – either Jenna or Chris. Our details are on the poster.”
Again, Irwin Mitchel have been so very generous to record this session and share it with us to share with you.

This provides a practical overview of the support available including key benefits, eligibility criteria, and how to access them. This will be useful to those applying for the first time, or those reviewing current support.
