In March 2024, Wellspring implemented a significant system change that unified all affiliate organizations into a single digital platform. This integration marks a major step forward in streamlining our operations and enhancing our ability to serve our community. As part of this transition, significant data cleanup is underway, and will continue until the end of 2024. As a result, for the purposes of reporting our last fiscal, some numbers have been approximated based on available information. Going forward, this new system will allow us to report on our numbers in a consistent way, and enable us to accurately report on the unique individuals we serve across the network.

I’m so grateful for the wellspring programs and how much they’ve helped me. Transitioning through the cancer journey is often not linear or a once and done situation. Seeing Wellspring New Brunswick and the Bannon house become a reality for our community and knowing the kind of support and safe space it will provide is like a dream come true.

It’s valuable to be able to talk with people who are going through the same thing as you. It was difficult to walk in. But it’s such a warm environment and such a good group of people that it’s worth the effort.
