I write to say how grateful I am to The Sara Lee Trust for the kindness, help and support I am receiving and indeed have received over the past 6 years whilst living with cancer.
I have availed of some of the varied support days and have greatly valued the range of therapies provided. It’s lovely having people around you who understand what you are going through and have ‘nice things done to you’, when often treatment is not nice.
I am currently finding the aromatherapy massages provided by Anthea at the Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital very beneficial. Anthea is a great asset to the team. Her massages are wonderful, alongside her gentle kindness and consideration, they provide valuable support to enable one to focus positively and calm the nerves at times of worry. For me, the massages also provide mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing so important on a cancer journey.
Living in Beckley, I have found the therapy room in Rye is fabulous! A trip into Hastings takes at least 30 minutes but the journey to Rye is very easy and takes less than half that time.
I felt I had to write as so often letters are sent when things are not right and not sent when they are! I greatly appreciate the Sara Lee Trust and please pass on my thanks to the whole team for all their hard work.
Treatment room locations
We have a small administration office in St Leonards and several therapy rooms. Every effort has been made to create a welcoming and safe space in our lovely therapy rooms.
There is parking available, as well as refreshments via the coffee shop at the St.Leonards therapy rooms or a vending machine in Rye. Both venues have a comfortable seating area for family or friends to wait for you if they wish.
