Bereaved Partners Support Group

This London based charity, founded by Erin Thompson, following the death of her own father from cancer, aims to prevent isolation following the loss of a loved one to cancer, by providing a range of flexible bereavement support services, underpinned by compassion and professionalism.

£1,000 will cover 8 support group sessions in North and South London.

"I spent weeks phoning around London hospitals and bereavement centres but could not access a group like this - that simply brings people together to share their stories of loss in an intimate, informal and accepting context."

Professor Mike Richards, national Cancer Director, comments "Michele Angelo Petrone's paintings of his cancer journey give a clear insight into the uncertainty, isolation and pain experienced by people with cancer. They also show the importance of the support and care which is given to cancer patients."
