Open House takes place in locations across West Suffolk and Thetford. Open House is aimed at people facing long-term and life-threatening illnesses, loved ones, carers, or those coping with bereavement. Each week we may incorporate mini-educational segments around subjects such as breathlessness, managing fatigue and nutrition.
The drop-in sessions offer the chance to meet others facing similar situations in a comfortable and relaxing space (as well as tea, coffee and biscuits!).
There is no need to book and family members, friends and carers are welcome.
Coming to visit us does not commit you to using our services: however it will give you some information to take away and help you make an informed decision as to whether we can help you and your family in the future. To find out more, please contact 01284 702525 or contact us using our online form.
Newmarket Open House is held on the first Tuesday of every month.
