The Stamford group was set up in February 2024 by Joan Richardson.
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and had a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy following a mastectomy. I made enquiries about a support group in Stamford and as there wasn't one, I decided to start one."
The Stamford group has grown and we moved from the Garden Room at the Stamford Day Centre into a larger room in the centre in August 2024.
In February 2025 the Stamford group merged with the Rutland and Melton Cancer Support Group to form Stamford and Rutland Cancer Support. We also launched an evening support group in Ryhall during the same month.

News
Our Oakham group meeting are on the move!
When the Rutland and Melton Cancer Support Group merged with the Stamford Cancer Support group, the supporters thought that they'd like to meet informally in the George Inn in the market place in Oakham. However, the group has grown and so they've decided to move back to the Quaker Meeting House. From September the group will be meeting at 10.30am at the Quaker Meeting House, Gaol Street, Oakham LE15 6AQ and on the third Thursday of the month. There's parking in Tesco's carpark and it's a short walk across to the corner of Goal Street. We look forward to meeting you at the new venue in September.
