Free Cancer Support Services in Ayrshire
All of our services are free to access and are available to anyone affected by or bereaved from cancer across Ayrshire.
Drop-In Centre
A relaxed, informal space, where you can drop-in without an appointment and meet a member of our support team. You can find out more about our services or simply take some time to relax and enjoy the centre and outdoor space.
Cancer Support Specialists
Meet with registered health professionals with experience working in oncology who can assess your needs fully, provide a plan of support for you and your family, or help liaise with your clinical team.
Children & Young People Services
Bespoke support services for children and young people up to age 25 who are affected by or bereaved from cancer; including one-to-ones, group sessions, and activities.
Counselling
All of the services provided take place within a confidential and sensitive setting with services available face to face at our centres, remotely, or even as home visits if required.
Complementary Therapies
A range of complementary therapies to help you to relax and unwind, relieving the symptoms of cancer or the effects of its treatment. Therapies include oncology massage, Indian head massage, reiki, reflexology, and holistic facial.
Patient Transport Service
This door-to-door volunteer driver transport service is a dedicated, volunteer-led service that provides reliable transportation to hospital appointments or our centres for those who need it.
Groups, Courses & Workshops
A range of groups, courses and workshops, delivered from our centres in partnership with other organisations to learn, share experiences and connect with others affected by, or bereaved through, cancer.
Patient Information Services
A library of up-to-date and accessible resources providing information and advice on cancer, our services, and other local/national support organisations.
I consider ACS to be a hugely essential part to the services we provide for patients living within Ayrshire. I enjoy working in conjunction with ACS to boost services and support to our mutual patients and families.
Having a good working relationship with the voluntary sector provides support for us as health professionals allowing us to know that we are delivering the best care possible.
