Frequently asked questions
Are your courses only for people with a cancer diagnosis?
No, we can support anyone affected by cancer - this can be anyone with a diagnosis of cancer, living with cancer or family/friends/carers of people with cancer. We also offer support for people who have been bereaved by cancer.
Do I have to pay for your courses?
No, all our courses are free of charge! However we are a registered charity and much of the work we do is funded by donations from our supporters. If you can afford to then any donation to help us cover our costs would be appreciated.
How can I choose my courses?
You may need help with a specific issue, for example help with sleeping, but you are welcome to try any course you like the look of. If you are looking for a specific topic - for example help with sleep - then you could try that course first and then consider other courses that may help. All our courses can be seen in the course catalogue. Feel free to try as many as you like. Courses you have started or completed will show in the "My Profile" section, so you can easily find them.
What benefits will I get from doing the courses?
With over 30 years experience of working alongside the NHS, we have created resources that offer practical tips and techniques to help with common problems related to people affected by cancer. Our courses are not designed to 'cure' an illness in any way and are not designed to replace any advice, programmes or treatment offered by your doctor or other health practitioner.
How do I know the advice I'm getting is safe to follow?
All our therapists are qualified members of their professional organisation and are experienced in working with people affected by cancer. They are expected to adhere to Weston Park Cancer Charity's clinical guidelines.
Some of the courses are very long! Do I have to finish them in a certain time?
We understand the impact that a cancer diagnosis can have, so we encourage you to go at a pace that suits you. You have lifetime access to these resources so there's no rush to complete anything. There is no need to complete all the content - we encourage you to create your own 'wellbeing toolkit' by integrating a few practices and tips into your week. Small steps - taken slowly but consistently - make the biggest difference.
I'm having trouble using the site or can't log in. What can I do?
