Our Support Services

Gamers Beat Cancer supports people of all ages, all backgrounds and all types of cancer. We help you manage the mental health issues that come with living with cancer, and the emotional trauma that can accompany a diagnosis, a prognosis or treatment.

What We Offer

Every service is designed around the person in front of us. You decide what support you need, and when you need it.

Gaming Community Support

Join a welcoming community of players who understand how gaming can offer a safe place to rest, connect and feel like yourself again.

Partners, parents, carers and friends also carry emotional weight. We offer space for them to be heard and supported too.

Choose the way of connecting that feels right for you.

  • Free, confidential sessions
  • Support at any stage of diagnosis, treatment or recovery
  • Flexible contact that fits around appointments and energy levels
