Complementary Cancer Care Trust supports and encourages a holistic approach to self-care and seeks to address the physical, emotional and spiritual requirements of people who have cancer or a life-affecting illness. We support the carer throughout the cancer journey, and afterwards, alongside anyone suffering from stress and depression.
The Trust provides information, support groups, Counselling, Acupuncture and a selection of complementary therapies, which can be safely used alongside allopathic treatment.
We were established as a registered charity in June 2000, and are the only Trust within the South-East and North Kent offering this service.
At the Trust we work with people on an individual level and within groups where they can meet others in similar circumstances.
We provide a Home Visiting Service that affords benefits to those unable to attend the weekly support groups, due to frailty, disability, illness, or the effects of undergoing cancer treatments.
From 2007 the Trust will be launching its Holistic Palliative Care service, which will be offered to clients in the advance stages of their illness. By helping them to manage pain control and other symptoms. Palliative care aims to achieve the best quality of life for patients and their families.
The Trust's committee consists of a multidisciplinary group, who meet on a monthly basis to discuss the requirements of our clients, and how to exceed them.
