The Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer in Navarre presented a new programme of free group activities for people with cancer and their relatives on 6 September 2026. The sessions are planned for the period from October to December 2026. According to the organisation, they are intended to support emotional wellbeing, encourage healthy habits and enable people affected by cancer to share experiences.
According to the announcement, the programme includes psychosocial support and emotional support workshops, self-help groups, an oncology exercise programme, activities with volunteers, and specialist information sessions. Both in-person and online formats will be offered. In-person sessions are planned in Pamplona and Tudela .
According to the organisation, people can register via the free helpline Infocáncer 900 100 036 and by contacting the Navarra branch of the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer with questions in person. The announcement gives no details on participant limits, possible prioritisation if demand is high, or the precise funding of the activities. The regional office says it will address detailed questions through direct contact.
The programme builds on the organisation’s existing support services in the region and is expressly aimed at patients at different stages of illness as well as their relatives. Topics range from coping with anxiety and exhaustion to diet and exercise habits, and social and legal aspects of living with illness. The oncology exercise programme is designed as an accessible starting point and is supervised by professionals.
The announcement was made on Sunday via the organisation’s regional channels; regional media such as Europa Press shared the information. For Navarra, the plan means continuing free support services in the final quarter of 2026. The combination of in-person sessions in Pamplona and Tudela and online services is intended to ensure broad access, particularly for people with limited mobility or those from more remote municipalities.
The announcement gives no specifics on further coordination with public health services in Navarra. The impact on existing waiting lists for psychosocial support services has not been quantified and will depend on demand. The organisation says that registrations are open on an ongoing basis and participation will be confirmed subject to availability.
