Chalmers Foundation Care & Support Centre officially opened its doors in October 2025. The Care & Support Centre was 100% donor funded. This space is the home that is needed for the cancer community.
The Care & Support Centre serves as the dedicated home for community-based cancer support programming, offering welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces for its Learn & Live Well, Strength & Movement, Care & Support, and Create & Express offerings.
The Care & Support Centre features the Empowerment Studio for movement and mindfulness programs and educational sessions; a fully equipped Wellness Kitchen for nutrition programming and community connection; and private rooms for Peer Support and restorative care appointments.

If you have a lived cancer experience, or are a support person for someone experiencing cancer, the Chalmers Foundation Care & Support Centre is for you.
Our doors are always open to you.
