Hi. Is there anyone from Basingstoke who would like to meet and do stuff together...going for walks or meeting for Coffee etc.
I am moving to Basingstoke in about a month and I don't know anyone there.I am a bit worried as here where I live a have a lots of friends and even now I struggle a bit with mental health. If anyone is interested in making new friends let me know.
Hi Sparklers85
Moving is always a daunting prospect. I moved house just a month after I was diagnosed with melanoma but in some ways it helped as I didn't bump into people I knew and have to explain all over again what had happened.
You could use the Macmillan 'In Your Area' search tool to look for support groups and volunteering opportunities, etc. I just tried it for Basingstoke and it brought up over 60 things that might be relevant to you.
All the best with the house move

I know what you mean. Sometimes it's not so great when people know about your diagnosis.
Thanks for the suggestion to look into 'in your area' . I didn't know about that.
