The Cancer Society Wellington

Welcome to The Cancer Society Wellington, located at 52 Riddiford Street in Wellington, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing support to individuals and their families facing cancer across Kāpiti, Wairarapa, Marlborough, and Nelson-Tasman. We proudly represent the Wellington Division of the Cancer Society.

Conveniently situated across the road from Wellington Regional Hospital in Newtown, our Wellington office serves as a central hub for our services. In addition, we have support centers located throughout the region. We encourage you to donate to our cause and support the Wellington, Kāpiti, Wairarapa, Marlborough, and Nelson-Tasman communities.

Join us for our annual Walking Stars event on Saturday, 11th November 2023. This night walk promises to be an uplifting experience as we come together to make a difference in the lives of those facing cancer.

If you're looking to make a direct impact, consider joining our team as a volunteer. Your contribution will help us provide vital support and care to those in need.

If you or a loved one are coming to Wellington for cancer treatment, we may be able to offer accommodation at Margaret Stewart House, located within the grounds of Wellington Regional Hospital. This provides a comforting and convenient option for individuals and their families during this challenging time.

Leaving a gift in your will to the Cancer Society Wellington is a powerful way to ensure ongoing support for those facing cancer. Your generosity will help fund life-saving cancer research and ensure essential services such as counseling, transportation to treatment, and support groups are always available.

We offer a range of support groups and workshops throughout Greater Wellington for individuals with cancer, their families, and friends. These sessions provide a safe and understanding environment to share experiences and gain valuable insights.

Our services are available to anyone diagnosed with cancer and their families and supporters. If you would like to access our services or refer someone else, please use our convenient online form.

We are delighted to announce a generous $10,000 donation to Cancer Society Wellington from two passionate Wellingtonians. This contribution will significantly impact our ability to provide essential services and support to those in need.
