We Hear You works across B&NES, Somerset and Wiltshire providing emotional support to patients, families, friends and carers who have been affected by cancer or any other life-threatening conditions - including Covid-19. People who use our service often report feeling numb, isolated and overwhelmed and can find their situation too big to cope with. We provide a safe space where people can say the unsayable and ask the unanswerable.
When you ask WHY… we hear you.
