The Lodge Cancer Support and Information Centre is available for anyone affected by cancer, whether for yourself, a carer, a friend or a health care professional. We can offer telephone or face-to-face support. You do not need a professional referral and may be having treatment at hospitals other than Torbay.

We offer information, emotional support, financial and benefits advice, applications for Macmillan grants, wig fitting service, headwear to purchase, complementary therapies, relaxation classes, pamper sessions for women and men, genetics counselling clinics, and signposting to a wide range of local support and services.

The Lodge is a warm, welcoming house; an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital, with a pleasant garden to relax in when the weather is fine.
