Welcome to the Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre

Established in 1983, the Centre is a registered charity that helps anyone who has been affected by cancer. This includes not just people who have cancer but also those who have a family member or friend with the disease as well as health care professionals.

The Centre's services can be used by anyone who can reach the Centre, which is 10 minutes' walk from Clapham Junction station in south London. We offer a warm and welcoming environment, in which each person is regarded as an individual with their own unique response to the changes brought about by a life-threatening illness.

We also have a Home Visiting Service that sends trained volunteers to people who are housebound in Wandsworth and other local boroughs.

Below is a film that will tell you more about the Centre.
