The staff and volunteers at the Centre can help support you in the best way for you and those close to you.

I oversee the running of the Great Yarmouth Support and Information Centre so that it runs efficiently, whilst offering the best possible support to our service users. I also supervise our team of fantastic Support and Information Officers, volunteers, and service providers.

I had previously heard of Big C but didn’t realise the breadth of support services available, and I think that what Big C offers is fantastic. I love being part of the Big C team!

I support individuals affected by cancer and facilitate the men’s support group in Great Yarmouth.

My interest in humanism and desire to better understand cancer from an individualistic point of view is what attracted me to Big C. Had I known about the free support that Big C offers, when my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2012, I like to think I would have dared to walk through that door—because what awaits behind it is not to be feared, but to be delighted in.

I have a varied role, which includes providing emotional support to service users and carers face to face, by telephone and online. I also assist in facilitating Big C’s invaluable support groups.

I initially saw the amazing work that Big C does first hand as a Meet and Greet volunteer for the charity and it is a cause very close to my heart. Big C provides much needed services for anyone affected by cancer and I am proud to be a small part of providing that support.
