Shake Up Max is open to anyone in their 20s, 30s and 40s who has been diagnosed with any type of cancer diagnosis (curative, chronic or incurable).
The event is being held at the hotel, near Darlington, from Friday to Saturday May 15 to 16.
The itinerary includes a session where everyone looks at how they felt as they went through diagnosis and treatment and another looking at managing fears and anxieties – as well as how to cope with misinformation.
People are expected to attend from around the country, but organisers are keen for a strong North-East contingent. There are quite a few spaces available and organisers from Shine Cancer Support are keen to ensure as many individuals as possible have the opportunity to attend.
Shine is covering all accommodation and meal costs for attendees, who are asked to cover travel costs (there is a small fund to support this if needed) and the charity takes a refundable deposit. Anyone interested can register their details here.
