In the charity's own words
Sophies Stars is dedicated to supporting family and loved ones of people diagnosed with cancer. We have lived through a cancer diagnosis and treatment of someone else, and felt a gap in the support available to us as supporters. Our mission is to bridge this gap by providing support via peer forums, regular walks and coffee mornings and exercise classes.
