Please help us to enhance the care provided to people affected by cancer
We fund massage therapy and counselling for patients who are having, or have had treatment for cancer.
Penny was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer in June 2022. She began visiting Rosie, the massage therapist at Whittington Health NHS Trust a year later. She has benefitted from scar tissue massage which has reduced her pain. She also receives acupuncture and physiotherapy to help manage the ongoing side effects of her treatment.
“I cannot speak highly enough of Rosie, the massage therapist. I began seeing her over a year ago, but then stopped when her service became unavailable due to lack of funding. I’m so grateful that Whittington Health Charity has enabled the massage therapy to continue. It’s been so valuable to me”.
Penny, cancer patient
Please make a donation today to enable us to continue funding holistic treatments for patients like Penny.
A caring environment
Thanks to charitable support, we’ve transformed a cold, clinical room on the chemotherapy ward into a calming and welcoming space where patients can receive counselling.
We’ve designed the space so that it doubles up as a holistic treatment room. The comfortable armchairs can be swapped for the therapists massage couch so that patients can receive massage therapy.
