Tuesday to Thursday: 9:30am – 4:00pm
For both clients and carers we offer:
Staff were extremely helpful and professional. The reflexology sessions really helped me to deal with some of the side effects of my cancer treatment. The Harlow center was like a sanctuary, thank you very much.
Harlow centre is a wonderful and friendly place to go . The team there are amazing.
Everybody at the centre are so nice and helpful. I also have serious heart problems and the reflexology really helps to keep me calm.
If you would like to talk to someone about making an appointment please call the centre or you can book in person at the centre. We will do our best to arrange an appointment that is convenient for you.
Each appointment lasts for 45 minutes so please try to arrive on time, otherwise your session will be shorter. If you are unable to keep an appointment or if you are unwell in the days preceding your appointment, please contact us as soon as you can to rearrange. This will enable us to offer the opportunity to another client who would benefit from it.
We understand there may be times when you don’t feel well enough to attend the centre and appreciate this may not become apparent until the day of your appointment. Of course we understand too if you suddenly receive a medical appointment that overlaps with your treatment.
Please do not attend if you have an infection of any sort. This includes coughs, colds, sore throat and gastric upsets. We must be mindful that many of our clients have impaired immunity due to chemotherapy and we want to ensure, as far as is possible, that they are not put at risk by coming into contact with infection. Please wait until you have been symptom free for at least 48 hours before attending the centre.
In order to maintain the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the centre we ask that you turn off your mobile phone or set it to ‘silent’ while you are here.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our centres soon.

I worked as a urologist with a special interest in cancer until my retirement in 2016. The patient journey with a new cancer is now often long and complex. Many need help to live their best life after treatment. Simple survival and the absence of cancer is not enough, feeling well and whole again is the goal. Social and psychological support makes all the difference. I am happy to help Helen’s charity to deliver that.
I have retired following a career at a senior management level in a range of sectors specialising in Human Resources, Project Management, Coaching and Mentoring skills. In addition since 2000 I have undertaken a number of voluntary Trustee roles for a range of organisations.
Through my desire to give back to a Charity that my mother personally benefitted from by utilising Complementary Therapies, I have for a couple of years volunteered for Helen Rollason Cancer Charity in the Retail Team and more recently this has inspired me to take up the role of Trustee so that I can contribute to the governance of HRCC in continuing to deliver vital services that benefit the community.
I have always wanted to give something back following a corporate career in business development for technical services within the automotive industry.
I joined HRCC as a trustee to offer support and guidance to the very capable management team. It is nice to share my experiences and It is rewarding to see the team grow and deliver such important services.
I have been involved with HRCC for 15 years, initially through providing corporate sponsorship for fundraising events and then as a member of the Board, acting as Chair between 2020 and 2024.
With over 25 years’ experience as a Company Director in the Tech sector, I aim to bring my expertise in strategy, governance and digital transformation to support the charity in striving towards Helen’s vision of making good quality of life while coping with cancer available to everyone.
I have worked in the IT industry for over 14 years and before that, was a long-term retail manager so I have a broad range of experience to contribute to my trustee role, across the operations and retail areas. I am a husband and father of two and having lived in Chelmsford for many years, I really appreciate the opportunity to work with an excellent local charity.
My family has a deep connection with the charity as my wife, Kerry works in the Hatfield Peverel Centre and one of the family, who previously used the services, now volunteers. We’ve also been known to jump on bikes and get involved as we’ve all taken part in the Ride For Helen event over the years.
I am one of the newer trustees but I’m looking forward to contributing to the Charity’s purpose and goals.
