Charity
Cavendish Cancer Care offer a very special package of personal support and complementary care to all of those who have to cope with cancer their children and carers . One in three people will be directly affected by cancer in their lifetime cancer is an illness that affects the whole family on a daily basis, everyone is "living with it". Many patients find it difficult to cope physically, practically and psychologically. Patients and their families often require support to reach a point where they can accept their diagnosis and live with cancer. They need to be able to take control of their situation and to improve the quality of their life. When people are at their most vulnerable, and do not know where to turn, Cavendish Cancer Care offers an open door and support. We also offer specialist care to children whose parents or carers are diagnosed with cancer. Cavendish Cancer Care offers people a range of psychological support and complementary therapies all of which are provided on a self-referral basis free of charge by qualified experienced staff. Our care is focussed on the person and not on the cancer. We give people time to talk through their concerns and agree on a personal package of care. This is greatly appreciated by their users but it is expensive to provide. A recent patient, a GP, who had herself worked in cancer care, said that, with the help she received at Cavendish Cancer Care she felt “whole again”. We see it as an essential that they offer clients a first appointment within a maximum of five working days and a distressed client can be seen much faster than this. Despite the fact that the need for supportive and integrated care like this is written into National Cancer Care Plans, NHS funding is very limited. the funding we receive from the NHS only keeps our doors open for 15 days a year. We need your help to ensure that local people who find it difficult to cope with cancer will always find the door of The Cavendish Centre “wide open.”

Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to Cavendish Cancer Care and Dreamflight. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
I will be aiming to race 140.6 miles consisting of a 3.8km swim, 180km bike and 42km run, ro raise what we hope will be in the region of £20,000 for two very worthwhile charities.
Cavendish Cancer Care is an independent charity established over 15 years ago giving free emotional support to people their families affected by cancer.
Dreamflight is a registered UK charity that changes young lives through taking seriously ill and disabled children, without their parents, on the holiday of a lifetime to Orlando, Florida. (Dreamflights registration with Virgin Money Giving is underway and all donations will be split 50/50 between the two charities)
