Connection and support
Our Survivors & Thrivers Support Groups are held bi-monthly in Nelson, Motueka, Tapawera, and Tākaka.
Cancer Society Nelson Tasman is committed to fostering a compassionate, connected community for anyone affected by cancer. Our Survivors & Thrivers Support Groups offer a safe, welcoming space to talk, listen, and share experiences with others who understand what it’s like to face cancer — either personally or as a supporter.
Whether you’re currently living with cancer, have experienced it in the past, or are supporting someone through it, you’re welcome to join us.
