Helen Rollason Cancer Charity is dedicated to supporting people whose lives are touched by cancer. Our support centres in Essex, London and Hertfordshire are vital in helping people living with cancer. The centres offer a range of complementary therapies to patients in an environment of peace and tranquility, including counselling, reflexology, aromatherapy, manual lymphatic drainage and support groups.

The centres are for patients 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."

In the last twelve months we have extended our services; we now have a Support Centre two days per week at St. Luke's Community Centre in Southend on sea and we have also relocated our Hertfordshire Support Centre to the Herts and Essex Community Hospital just outside Bishop's Stortford. This has enabled us to double the number of treatment rooms and care for more cancer patients and their loved ones. We have also opened a hub at the Oncology Centre in Springfield Hospital, Chelmsford.
