Star Throwers is a cancer support charity based in Wymondham, Norfolk dedicated to helping people affected by cancer. We support individuals to make informed decisions about their treatment options, including alternative treatments, and help them search for clinical trials when appropriate. We also offer complementary therapies, counselling, nutritional advice and lymphoedema support to people with cancer and their loved ones.

All of our services are completely free of charge but this is only possible thanks to the support of individuals and organisations donating and fundraising to help us to deliver these services and continue to improve the wellbeing of those affected by cancer.

Why the name Star Throwers? It is based on the following short story:

“After a heavy storm, a boy walked along the beach throwing the stranded starfish back into the sea.
A man watching shouted “there are too many of them – it won’t make any difference.”
As the boy threw another starfish back into the sea, he smiled and replied “it made a difference to that one!”
