People living with cancer, recovering from treatment, or supporting a loved one with a diagnosis are invited to attend a free Cancer Summer Roadshow in Leeds this June.
Hosted by OPAL and supported by the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance, the event will bring together local organisations, support services and wellbeing activities to help people access information, advice and community support.
The roadshow aims to create a welcoming space where people can learn more about the support available, meet others with shared experiences and explore activities that can support health and wellbeing.

Why Attend?
A cancer diagnosis can affect many aspects of life, not only physical health but also emotional wellbeing, relationships and day-to-day routines.
Events like the Cancer Summer Roadshow provide an opportunity to connect with organisations that can offer practical support, explore activities that promote wellbeing and meet others who understand the challenges that cancer can bring.
Whether you are currently receiving treatment, living with and beyond cancer, caring for a loved one or looking for information about local services, the roadshow offers a chance to discover what support is available.
