Who We Are

East Devon Breast Cancer Support was set up as an unincorporated association in November 2024 with two support groups in Exmouth and Sidmouth. Six months later another group was started in Honiton, all run by women and for women who have a breast cancer diagnosis. For some of us, this took place many years ago and others are just beginning their treatment.

 Whatever our situation, we are motivated to offer support to one another and welcome new members into our groups. Our aim is to empower women with knowledge, companionship and confidence, creating a supportive community that can be relied upon to be there when you need us, ensuring no one faces their journey alone. 

Our meetings allow us the opportunity to meet in a private space where we can talk safely about all aspects surrounding breast cancer.  None of us can or will give medical opinions, but we are what is termed the ‘expert patient’ having been through or going through varying treatments.
