National Helpline 01223 846845
Do you have concerns or worries that you would like to talk to someone about?
Our telephone helpline, as part of our national support services, normally operates 9.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday
If you get no reply please leave your name and number and we shall attend to your call as soon as possible.
If you have a question or issue that is best in writing, please write to our Head Office who will try to find an appropriate person to answer it.
All the people who answer our helplines have been patients or carers so are likely to understand your concerns because they have been there.

Hi folks. I hope you are all keeping well. Here we are in the grips of winter. It’s snowing as I write this.
On Tuesday 9th January we held our first Committee meeting of the year. The University Hospital of North Staffordshire, UHNS, had asked us if we could give a donation to their PET CT scanner appeal. At our Committee meeting we approved a donation of £1000 to be given towards the cost of the PET scanner appeal, as this could benefit anyone of all the people of our area. PET stands for Positron Emission Tomography, which is used to detect brain tumours, locate epileptic activity within the brain, and examine brain functions. CT stands for Computerised Tomography.
On Tuesday 29th Jan 2013 we had an enjoyable evening entertained by the Pencil Dots while having our annual Potters Picnic Buffet provided by members and friends. The group photo shows the cheque given to the UHNS on the night.
Dates for your diary are as follows: May 28th - Garden and plant swap/sale; June 25th - Gordon Robson, Singer and Guitar Player.
