This World Cancer Day, we recognise the impact that cancer has on individuals, families, and communities โ€” not just medically, but emotionally, socially and practically.
ย 
Support comes in many forms: from specialist services and peer groups, to local organisations offering guidance, wellbeing activities and community connection.
ย 
Thatโ€™s where the Essex Map (www.essexmap.co.uk) can help.
ย 
ย 
Itโ€™s a free, searchable directory of local support services across Essex โ€” including cancer support groups, counselling services, wellbeing activities and more โ€” designed to make it easier for people to find the right support at the right time.
ย 
ย 
๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ For residents:
ย 
Whether youโ€™re living with cancer, supporting someone who is, or looking for local wellbeing resources, visit www.essexmap.co.ukto explore support near you.
ย 
ย 
๐Ÿข For organisations:
ย 
If your cancer support service or community group isnโ€™t on the Essex Map yet, please consider adding your listing โ€” itโ€™s free and helps people connect with the support they need. Email: communications@essexalliance.org.uk
ย 
Support starts with information, connection and community โ€” and no one should have to find their way alone.

Where Communities Are Built by David Barton

Where Communities Are Built Lessons from the work of community engagement across Essex My work in community engagement began with a simple realisation: many of the challenges facing our communities are not caused by a lack of services, but by a lack of connection.
