*Disclaimer
Sarcoma support groups around the UK provide valuable support and information to people with sarcoma and their families, but please note that: The support groups listed on this website are independent groups. The Sarcoma Trust accepts no responsibility for their activities, including any representational or campaigning activities they may undertake, advice they may give, and any other services they may provide.
The information is provided by the individual support groups, and is the latest we have received from the groups. It is always a good idea to check with the group before attending in case details have changed.
