HRCC Hatfield Peverel Coffee Mornings are back for 2022!

Share

We are delighted to announce the re-launch of our monthly coffee mornings in Hatfield Peverel!

The events will be held on the third Saturday of every month from 10am to 12pm at our Mid Essex Support Centre, The Street, Hatfield Peverel CM3 2EH (free parking). 

Events are free to attend and are open to anybody in the community who are looking for a friendly chat and for a donation, some delicious cake, hot drinks and charity raffle. Information and support regarding our cancer services will also be available for those who request it.

Jenny Leach, coffee morning Volunteer who helps run the events said “A lot of people have been asking when our coffee mornings would be re-starting again so we are delighted to announce our next event on Saturday 19th March 2022!

We look forward to welcoming all our previous attendees back and hope to see lots of new faces. We are always on the lookout for tea, coffee and cakes so if you want to brush up on your baking skills, we’d love to receive any donated baked goods! Baking can be therapeutic while also putting delicious treats on the table for a good cause – it’s a win win!” 

Community Fundraiser Suzanne Watson said; “Our coffee mornings are relaxed, friendly and anyone new would be made to feel most welcome from our fantastic volunteer organisers. 

I have heard from many attendees that they really enjoy our coffee mornings as it gives them a chance to get out into their local community, make new friends and have a chat while enjoying some lovely treats. 

All funds raised from our coffee mornings help to support those living with cancer. These donations will help us to continue supporting men and women with all types of cancer at all stages – whether newly diagnosed or longer-term, throughout treatment and after treatment is completed.”

Tom Carr

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.

Kully Byatt

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.

Jacqui Goulbourn

I’m a qualified accountant with over 20 years experience working in the NHS in Essex and beyond.  I know how vital charities in the healthcare arena are, to fill in where government funding doesn’t reach.  As a volunteer Trustee, I am pleased to be able to offer my skills and experience to help HRCC deal with these challenges, allowing staff to have a greater focus on providing services to the clients.

Friederike Englund

I am a cancer nurse by background and have supported those affected by cancer for over thirty years. I have worked very closely with the team at Helen Rollason and have seen the tremendous benefit and improvement in wellbeing that patients and carers experience through the support they receive. I am very keen to ensure that Helen Rollason widens its reach across all communities in Essex and offers support services that are effective and based on the most up-to-date scientific evidence.

Dave Johnson

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.

Ben Schneider

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.

Andy Higgs

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.
