Here's a little bit about what we do in The Purbeck Workshop...

 

We’re sorry that you have found the need to search for cancer support groups!  Here in the Purbeck Workshop, we are a registered charity (no. 1161110) based in Wool, Dorset and we are dedicated to providing creative escapes to anyone whose life has been touched by cancer. 

​

Our relaxing and supportive workshop provides FREE activities and events throughout the year, where you can meet other people, carers and family members, who have all been affected by cancer.  

​

For us, it's not about you mastering new craft skills.  It's about you taking some valuable time out, having fun and engaging with your creative self.  We'll aim to take your mind off the worries and fears that cancer can bring, just for a couple of hours. 

​

If you have had a recent or previous diagnosis, if you have been bereaved through cancer or you are a family member or carer in need of a creative escape, you are all very welcome to attend our workshop.  

​

We are based a short walk from Wool Station, with off-street parking and disability accessible facilities including a lift for a wheelchair.
