Support Crew is a free online tool that helps you easily co-ordinate meals and other support from family and friends when you need it most. All you need to do is simply start a Support Page and invite a support crew to join you. People want to help and this is an easy way to let them. Some people love to cook, some are great with the kids, or the shopping or even walking the dog. Let them help you in a way that is meaningful to you both.

Canopy Cancer Care is a proud supporter of Hospice, and they frequently refer their patients to Hospice when they require specialist support and care. Your doctor or nurse may talk to you about Hospice at any stage of your treatment and will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Canopy care for the whole person, not just their physical needs but also their emotional, spiritual, and social needs too, and care for families and friends as well, both before and after a death. Irrespective of where they are, this philosophy of care does not change and everything they provide is free of charge.

People may be referred for hospice care even while they are undergoing treatments for their illness, not just at the very end of life - however, usually people are referred at a time when it is acknowledged the illness is incurable.
