Bosom Pals, a Dumfriesshire friendship group for women going through breast cancer, is providing a lifeline in the community.
Just over 10 years ago, women who had completed treatment found there was very little in the way of ongoing support for those who needed it – short and long term.
Two ladies, Linda and Marion, got together and initially started a Tuesday walking group. It grew into asking Heathhall Garden Centre if they would mind setting aside a table in their cafe for 12.30pm each Tuesday so they could chat over lunch or coffee.
