Upper Southern Region

Happy New Year from the Upper Southern area. We finished 2025 with some wonderful Christmas Support Groups in the main centres. 

We’ve seen growing numbers attending our groups and we are looking forward to them starting up again in February.

What’s on?

Kate will continue to travel every two months to Greymouth and see the West Coast patients either in clinic or for home visits. She also travels to Timaru and Ashburton to run Support Groups every two months.

Helen facilitates support groups in Nelson and Blenheim every two months, as well as a support group in North Canterbury, which is held in Rangiora. 

We are looking forward to Kids’ Club 2026, our monthly play therapy group for children who have a loved one living with a blood cancer. 

We are aware that some of you will be dealing with significant challenges so please remember that we are available for one-to-one support, providing a listening ear and practical assistance.

Take care and please reach out as you need.
