Cancer Support France – Dordogne Nord Plus is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation and registered charity covering the South Charente and North Dordogne areas. We are part of the Cancer Support France network of affiliated Associations.

Contact us on: – or Telephone: – 0643678611.

We aim to support English-speaking people in our area (for details see below) who have been affected in some way, by cancer. Our clients include the sufferers themselves and/or their friends and families. All those working on behalf of CSF are volunteers who freely give their time and skills to support our clients, their families and friends. Their commitment is to provide emotional and/or practical support to enhance the quality of life for every client.

Our Active Listeners – what can they do for you?

You may have heard the term Active Listeners but what are they and how can they help you?

Our Active Listeners are trained to provide: –

Emotional Support

  • A safe place for you to off-load your feelings, concerns and fears
  • A non-judgmental and unbiased listening ear
  • A way to fight emotional loneliness
  • The opportunity to explore options in order to address your concerns and regain control

Practical Support

  • Information about cancer in general and about local services
  • Assistance with any language barrier you may experience
  • Someone to attend medical appointments with you
  • Someone to act as your representative

Support can be offered face-to-face (for example: – home or hospital visits), by telephone or via modern media, whatever suits you.

Our volunteers have received initial and ongoing training so they can respond to each person’s needs with respect and dignity, in a confidential environment.

In turn, we encourage an environment where all our volunteers are treated with respect.
