Cancer support

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.” HRCC has four cancer support centres based in Chelmsford, Southend, Edmonton and Bishop's Stortford, as well as a cancer support hub at Braintree Community Hospital and GenesisCare Hospital in Springfield. 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.

Shops

The charity has a network of nine shops run by volunteers in the Herts, Essex and London areas. They provide funding for the cancer support centres. The charity's shops are located in Burnham-on-Crouch, Chingford, Danbury, Ongar, Sawbridgeworth, South Woodford, Wickford and Witham.[4]
