A new support group has been formed in Brightlingsea to support women affected by breast cancer.

Brightlingsea Boob Babes has been set up by Helen Paxman and Jill Holland to offer support and share help and advice. The group had it’s inaugural meeting this week.

“We welcome you to come and have a cup of tea, biscuits and a chat in an informal settingl, whether you were diagnosed 30 years ago or 30 minutes ago,” say the pair. “We’re not experts but have our stories to share, as have many of you.”

Meetings – in Helen’s house – will be on the second Tuesday of the month from 7pm to 9pm, with the next one on May 12. To find out more, email [email protected] or message her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/helen.paxman.
