Welcome.
We are here to support you.

Cavendish Cancer Care is a local Sheffield charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people living with cancer in South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

We believe no one should face cancer alone, so we provide emotional and physical support through counselling and therapies for patients, carers and their families.

Our services are provided free of charge; we rely on donations, fundraising, and help from volunteers to continue our work. We provide the support that local families need.

An Update.

We are here to offer support to local families affected by cancer. Although the Tim Pryor Centre is temporarily closed, we are providing telephone and online services, including counselling and body-based therapies.

Annette is an Acupuncturist, Shiatsu Practitioner and Massage Therapist here at Cavendish Cancer Care. Follow this link for an update from Annette as she describes how online support and body-based techniques can help you, as well as some feedback from clients from the past few months: http://cavcare.org.uk/news/online-support-for-you/

Our Young People’s Service can provide support by telephone and video calling. Find out more about this service here: https://cavcare.org.uk/about-us/young-peoples-service/.

We can also offer our well-established peer-to-peer telephone support service, Cavendish Cancer Buddies: https://cavcare.org.uk/about-us/cancer-buddies/

Help us be there for those who need us

Cavendish Cancer Care is funded almost entirely by the generosity of the local public and we’d like to thank everyone for their kind messages of support over the last few months.  Sadly, a large number of events and fundraising challenges have now been cancelled or postponed.  This includes events which were being organised specifically to raise funds for Cavendish, as well as mass participation events like the Sheffield Half Marathon. As we’re adapting to the current changes of lockdown, there is uncertainty on when some of these events may take place. We’re fortunate to still be able to support those who need us now more than ever as they are struggling with the current situation. However, we still need to be able to fund this vital service.

The good news is that there are still lots of ways you can support us and ensure that we can be here for the local families that so desperately need us during this extremely difficult time:

You can still get involved in our 250 Challenge – you could get sponsored to have ‘Dress Up Fridays’, set yourself a step challenge or donate your morning commute.

Maybe sign up to the rearranged Sheffield Half Marathon, perhaps even get your friends, family and colleagues involved.

Or if all that sounds like too much hard work, you could simply donate to our Cavendish Cares campaign and directly fund vital support for people living with cancer – just £11 will fund supplies for an art therapy session to help a child come to terms with their parent’s cancer diagnosis.
