The volunteer-run initiative in Sheffield is launching monthly sessions, free of charge, to help support those living with Breast Cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The peer support group is being led by two friends Nicola Harris-Jukes and Rachel Mora-Bannon who have both gone through a diagnosis themselves in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rachel Mora Bannon said: \u201cAlthough we had loads of medical support we felt there was not enough holistic support and some health and wellbeing experiences were missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe got together and decided to do something about it and so with funding from Macmillian, we are running 12 monthly sessions that start on Thursday May 14th.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first session will be held at Baker\u2019s Yard in Kelham with locations changing weekly depending on the type of session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Mora-Bannon said the sessions will start with the group meeting each other and it will then develop into exercise, nutrition, mental health and social workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said: \u201cWe have sessions partnered with Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United, who do a lot of cancer exercise sessions and are coming along to talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople don\u2019t have to sign up, they can just come along!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
