Spotlight on…Berwick Cancer Cars
As part of our information and signposting service, we’re shining a spotlight on organisations offering all kinds of support to people in Northumberland.
The Berwick and District Cancer Support Group, commonly known as Berwick Cancer Cars, was founded in 1992 by two women from Spittal, Violet Carter and Kathleen Horsburgh, who were having difficulty accessing their cancer treatment in hospitals over 60 miles away.
Over 30 years later the charity continues to grow and now has six cars to help transport patients to appointments. The service is run completely by volunteers.
If you need help getting to a cancer related appointment or treatment session, you can call Berwick Cancer Cars on 07780 795244.
The service is available to anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis and is registered with a GP practice in Berwick, Belford or Wooler (Clients living in the Cornhill area may be registered with a GP in Coldstream).
