    We recently have been working with Prostate Cancer UK and Macmillan in providing counselling provision for those that have been diagnosed with cancer or family members affected by the diagnosis. This service was promoted within the local hospitals within the Greater Manchester area. Being diagnosed or living with a physical or mental health condition can be overwhelming for all. The strain on different relationships – like with a partner, family, friends or colleagues – can be huge, and it may take some for everyone involved to adjust and understand what’s happening. Relate GMN Counsellors can give them tie and space to explore their situation and help make sense of how things may change.

    We are a volunteer group at our local hospital and for the past 2/3 years have been actively involved in ward surveys at night to see how best to reduce noise and improve our patient’s ability to sleep.
    We made a number of suggestions to improve the situation which have been adopted and led to a SLEEP WELL campaign.
    If this is the type of project which you are looking for we can put together the story .
