The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity is dedicated to championing quality of life for everyone living with or affected by Cancer. We are here to support men and women with all types of cancer at all stages; newly diagnosed, throughout and post treatment, as well as their wider support network of family, friends and carers. We do this through the provision of support centres, complementary therapies, information and advice and awarding grants for clinical trials. Our services are delivered free of charge to support cancer patients’ emotional well-being alongside their medical treatment. We focus on offering these services in non-clinical environments to promote a safe, peaceful, relaxing setting across the Essex, London and Hertfordshire regions. 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.” Our support centres are at the heart of our vision of enabling quality of life for everyone living with or affected by cancer. The centres offer a range of complementary therapies to patients in an environment of peace and tranquillity, including counselling, reflexology, aromatherapy, manual lymphatic drainage and support groups. The grants we award (currently to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford and The North Middlesex Hospital) support the provision of clinical trials, which are focussed on developing new cancer drugs and treatments that increase quality of life for patients.

Our work very much reflects the values of Hibernian F.C. when it was first formed. That is, when the Club was formed by the Catholic Young Men’s Society in 1875, it would use funds raised from games to support the local community. These values are alive today in the community foundation as they were 150 years ago. Broadly, we work in two areas: (1) Grassroots Football: Organising football for all in our community, from recreational to national performance teams. This includes our boys’, girls’ and women’s academies, pre-school and school programmes, holiday camps and football for particular groups in the community: those who are disabled and/or have additional support needs, over 55s, and refugee and immigrant communities. (2) Community Outreach: Developing initiatives that offer practical help to those who most need it. We provide hot meals and a warm, inviting space to anyone and everyone who can benefit from it. We work with a range of community groups, charities, and foodbanks in the central, north and east sides of Edinburgh, many of whom refer people to us. But we do a lot more too. We organise mental health support groups, keep fit classes, a community choir, social clubs for young people, the elderly and refugee community, provide computer and online access, and adult learning opportunities.

We are a holistic based charity that works with males from key-stage 2 into adulthood across the UK. Using mentoring, coaching mindfulness, together with a network of support and a sense of family we ensure males thrive not just to survive. We teach males the tools needed for their own mental health. Look at it this way. If I gave a starving man a fish, he would eat for that day. He would fill fulfilled and contempt. But If I taught a man to fish, he would never be starving again, he would thrive and be happy. We are an independent charity that is solely funded by fundraising despite having 99% of our clients referred by the NHS. Many thanks for looking at our charity. Jules x

Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very challenging, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births. That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Hampshire can help. A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.
