Facebook Groups

Blog

We run a number of Facebook groups where you can connect with others from across the country.

If you’re in Shine’s age group (20s, 30s, 40s), you’re welcome to join us online. Simply click below and when you get to Facebook answer a few simple questions so that we know who you are. We’ll add you to the group ASAP and voila! You’ll be in touch with Shiny people all over the UK.

Main Closed Group

Only young adults between 20 and 49 who have had a cancer diagnosis can join this group. None of your Facebook friends will be able to see what you’re saying and you’ll be able to connect with others who get it.

Shine Lifers

This is a group for Shine Lifers – those fab people we know who are living with an incurable diagnosis. We created this group after requests from our Shiny people who told us that sometimes they want a place to chat about life (and death) away from the crowds in our other group. They named the group too.

Menopause after Cancer

This is a group for adults in their 20s, 30s or 40s who are experiencing the joys of early menopause as a result of cancer treatment. If you’re looking to trade stories, get advice or just find out where to buy a good fan, this group is for you.

Shine Plus Ones

Our Plus Ones group is for the friends and family members of young adults living with cancer. Join to chat with other partners, siblings, friends and parents.

Dating after Cancer

Dipping your toes into the dating world? Worried about swiping the wrong way (or having everyone swipe left on your cancer diagnosis)? Join our private Dating after Cancer Facebook group and chat with others about the good, the bad and the ugly (!) of dating.
