The Swallows is extremely close to my heart as it has provided me with the support over the last 7 years since being diagnosed with Throat Cancer in 2018. Over the last 3 years I have being giving back helping to support those people being diagnosed and undergoing the various treatments.

The Swallows Charity supports all people affected by head and neck cancers patients, caregivers, friends or relatives. The patient is the focus for support, help and signposting. However the role of caregivers and others is vital too, with their own support needs often overlooked. It is their intention for every person affected by head and neck cancer to have access to support at the point they need it, by the method of their choice, on a 24/7 basis. This could be by telephone, email or social media. This is the key growth area for The Swallows and they have expanded their global reach to provide resources, enabling this 24/7 support to be freely available to all people affected by head and neck cancers.
