SWELL – Supported We Live Life | Fermanagh Cancer support

ABOUT SWELL

Founded and managed on a voluntary basis by cancer patients, SWELL (Supported We Live Life) is built on the foundation of recognising and addressing feelings of loneliness, helplessness and anxiety which are synonymous with a cancer diagnosis.
We believe these feelings can best be countered through delivering easily accessible ‘Social Medicine’.

The feeling that comes from knowing you are surrounded by an abundance of people who are ‘all in this together’ is both calming and empowering.

SWELL strive to ensure that cancer patients, their family, friends and carers do not feel alone and that sadness, feelings of loneliness and anxiety are addressed in a safe, friendly and confidential environment.

We acknowledge that the effects of cancer can mean different things to different people and that individuals are impacted in different ways and the diversity of our programmes reflect this.

Vision

The Lived Experience of those affected by a cancer diagnosis does not include loneliness, sadness, or despair but instead, connectedness, inclusion, companionship and hope.

Mission

To reach out and connect with people affected by cancer throughout the Fermanagh area and provide the ‘Social Medicine’ of peer, face to face support and advice they need.

Priorities

• Highlight our service to a larger audience.
• Expand our Programme delivery and diversity
• Influence and effect positive health policy changes
• Inspire all impacted by a cancer diagnosis
