The complementary therapy service here at the Centre aims to help our clients and carers to develop and implement their own ways of helping themselves, whilst living with cancer and other life-limiting illness. We support and encourage people through this process

The Centre is excellent. When you walk through the doors you can feel the calm and everyone always has a smile. From the bottom of my heart thank you to each and every one of you.
As soon as you walk into the Centre you can feel the calming and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was very helpful, compassionate and supportive and I felt that I could have approached any of the staff for help or advice.

I went from feeling depressed and guilty about cheating cancer, to a happier and confident person
I feel the Centre does a wonderful job in meeting the needs of anyone going through a very difficult time
Over the sessions, I gradually felt more relaxed and happier each time I visited and eventually felt I was back in control of my life and able to made decisions on the way forward
The activities and therapies were very helpful to me. The people who ran the activities were very helpful, kind and considerate
It was good to meet people in the same position as me
I can not, and would not, try to find any fault with the Centre and its’ wonderful staff and Volunteers
Gently directing me to activities I would not have entertained previously but which were so beneficial
Felt more relaxed and able to cope with everyday life
Could not have asked for better treatment or care
I would love to be able to come back at times just to see the friendly faces
They are all lovely staff and it did me wonders going there and being able to talk and relax with people who care.
I was very satisfied with my treatment and therapist. The staff have always been very cheerful and helpful which helps enormously

Wellbeing Wednesday
Feel free to come and join us for our Christmas Wellbeing Wednesday on 18th December at 1.30pm for a brew and a mince pie. Special guests will be Woodhouse Primary School choir!!
Our monthly Wellbeing Wednesdays take place on the third Wednesday of each month here at the Centre and are open to any Trafford residents affected by cancer. Each session includes a relevant, helpful topic and discussion, followed by the opportunity to mingle and chat with others over a drink.
We’ve been awarded the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark at the Macmillan Wellbeing Centre. This award was developed in collaboration with more than 400 people living with cancer, who helped to shape its criteria.
The Macmillan QEM recognises that the Macmillan Wellbeing Centre provides a welcoming and comfortable environment for people with cancer. It also acknowledges that we respect our visitors’ privacy, we treat you with dignity and that our facilities will help improve your well-being.
