Helen Rollason Cancer Charity is dedicated to supporting people whose lives are touched by cancer. Our support centres in Essex are vital in helping people living with cancer. Our aim is to provide a safe space where you can be yourself and do not have to put on a brave face. A place where you can have enjoyable, relaxing and calming treatments in the knowledge that you are not alone.
We work tirelessly to support people living with cancer and without your support, it would not be possible.
“The support Helen Rollason Cancer Charity has given me has been so beneficial; they provide a personal face to face service which is friendly, welcoming and has an undeniable humanistic approach. The staff have helped me to deal with all levels of emotional support and given me the tools I need to get on with my life”.
Our centres support clients with all types of cancer at all stages, whether newly diagnosed or longer term, throughout and after completion of treatment. Founded in 1999, the charity is the legacy of BBC broadcaster Helen Rollason, whose vision was: “Good quality of life while coping with cancer is the most important gift a sick person can receive. It should be available to everyone.”
