NEW drop-in sessions are being held for anyone affected by cancer.

Fighting All Cancers Together (FACT) is holding mindful yoga and meditation sessions, as well as a drop-in for people who want conversation and support.

They are being held at North Road Methodist Church, in Durham, on Fridays.

The yoga is on from 12noon to 1pm and is followed by a chance for conversation until 2pm.

FACT offers support to anyone affected by cancer, including patients and their families and friends. No referral is necessary to access the services.

It offers a range of free or heavily subsidised support, counselling and therapies across the North-East.

It is based in Gateshead but is expanding with a limited range of support in areas like Durham.
