Our Stories


We have helped many families over the years. Here are some of their stories.


“How does one begin to thank you all at CLSW for the truly exceptional experience you enabled us all to have. Everything about it was so extraordinarily special that I know none of us will ever forget it.  Why can’t life always be like this?”


“A genuine, giving and supporting team.  Very grateful.”


“All three of the facilitators were excellent.  I felt completely ‘held’ and safe all the time.  They managed everything with such professionalism, feeling and sensitivity and it was like a well oiled procedure, it felt very reassuring.  They cared for our every need with such compassion.  They were quite amazing and made the break so enjoyable.”


“Amazing people, so supportive, kind, genuine, non-judgemental.  All three facilitators were so easy to talk to and listened and often allowed me to be vulnerable which soon made me stronger.  Emotionally since I have been home, I have become so much more positive and stronger, happier and take each day as a blessing.  These three lovely people were part of allowing myself to do this.  My new quote ‘out of darkness I will find sunshine’.  Thank you all at Cancer Lifeline and facilitators and the amazing people I met for giving me sunshine again.”
