The Scottish Cancer Support Charity was started in 2002 by a wonderful lady called Joan Galbraith and friends. Their aim was simple, to help children, men and women who are sadly diagnosed with cancer (anywhere in Scotland). Working in close conjunction with support groups to provide such items as Patient Transport and much needed items that may be required in a Cancer Sufferer’s home

Joan and the team are determined to help Cancer victims and assist, support and help wherever possible. The charity based in Ayrshire is branching out to lengthen their arm in Scotland. Joan has already established an office in Dundee, caravan sites in both Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Craig Tara which provides comfortable Holiday Accommodation for Cancer Sufferers and their families. Anyone sadly touched with cancer will know the personal sacrifices and time off work that is necessary in looking after their child, husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother....

That break however long is vital in the recuperation of both Cancer Sufferer and carer. Joan and friends have also established charity shops in Ayrshire, a furniture shop in Kilmarnock, a furniture warehouse in Cumnock, and an office in Dundee.

A staggering 26,000 new cases are diagnosed with cancer every year in Scotland. Joan, Bill and all the staff/volunteers at Scottish Cancer Support know their task wont be easy, but it has been a fantastic start since 2002 and with your help and support the story will continue...
